Any details on this case? Why were border patrol agents prosecuted for shooting a drug smuggler?

They lied in their reports after removing their shell casings from the scene.
Major no-no for a LEO.

Freepers defending obstruction of justice isn't pretty.

Only ONE of the guys removed the shell casings...the other didn't know he did it.

That's why, in the future, there will be no witnesses left.

And that, BTW, ought to be a major no-no for this government to be giving armed officers of the law.

Picking up their shellcasings is a minor infraction ~ mere ministerial is the word.

Besides, they didn't think they'd hit anyone ~ next time the perp gets tracked down and offed.

So, good work PRND21 ~ you've now made the border inestimably dangerous for everyone. The narcotrafficantes are going to up their armaments and numbers on these missions, and buy off more federal judges, and date more plug-ugly female US Attorneys ~ blech ~ can you imagine what their attitudes will be after that?

I haven't heard that. Link, please?

The sentences are longer than if they had raped the guy, beaten his dog, shot him and then made him pick-up the shell-casings with his teeth.

Do you not see any injustice in this case?

We're not defending obstruction of justice, we are defending the freedom of two men who were acting, in their own words, in self defense. I am going to believe them when they say they saw a weapon and thought they were being fired upon. So they picked up some shell casings, whoopdie frigin doo. They didn't find the perp and thought it was a non event. The guy they shot was an armed invader against this country, I wish they would have offed the bastard.

Neither is defending a drug smuggler.
