Now I know what the B.S. stands for...
How many more liars do we have in the gov't??? This falls squarely on the shoulders of President Bush and his mouthpiece, Tony Snow...No wonder the gov't wouldn't release trial transcripts...
A Specialist in bull$h!t
BUMP!
I think Sutton said he didn't use ANY investigation papers in the trial, only actual testimony. If a person testified at trial to something under oath, it won't matter that they don't have the notes of the original meeting where they found the information.
If the notes were introduced in the trial, then they would matter, but they would then be exhibits and would be on file at the court, so I don't think that's the issue.
If someone testified at trial that they overheard the men say something, it really doesn't matter if the notes the DHS had where the man told DHS about it are still around.
That's why I said it's a "PR" problem, because the promise of notes seems to be related to the post-trial political battle, not the trial itself. The actual appeal of the case is decided in the court system, not the court of public opinion -- at least that's what the conservative view has been in the past.
Look at the WND article. The Wife is never interviewed, or quoted. The FATHER-IN-LAW is cited about stuff he says Ramos told the wife.
So don't blame the wife for a story if it's inaccurate. The family has a designated spinner.
The big question is how high up the foodchain all this goes.
It was determined that this would compromise Aldrets-Davila's integrity at the trial against the two BP agents. In addition another wittness involved in both cases was not allowed to testify because of the October 2005 case.
You also ignore that the HLS agent Sanchez took Davila to have the bullet removed and then took Davila to his home for the night ALONG WITH THE BULLET fragment, therefore breaking the chain of evidence.....
Last, you ignore the evidence that the path of the bullet actually bore out the story of both agents that he was running away from them and pointing a gun at them at the same time...

The question wasn't why Sutton prosecuted the case. It was why did HLS get involved in the case. They got involved because Davila is friends with Agent Sanchez of Tucson, and Davila's mother called Sanchez's MIL who involved Sanchez on behalf of his drug runner friend and Sanchez notified HLS who took the initial report.

Problem is, I don't think you can successfully sue the government.
Wow that's some magic bullet fragment if it can tell what was in the guy's hand at the time. That beats the heck out of the JFK magic bullet. Even Ramos and Compean, on the stand, wouldn't swear that they knew he had a gun. After the fact he said he saw a "shiny object". *Note to self, take off wrist watch from now on.
Source please????
You lasted longer than I would have!!!!! I'm still laughing!!! Being sane is a lost art!!!

They are indeed upstanding men, but they have committed no crime. All allegations against them have at this point been fully debunked by competent testimony.
"Distorting facts" ....."misleading information."
The word is: Lying
And the gov't officials who lied should be sent to prison. .....but of course it won't happen.
Why did DHS lie? Why would they go to such outrageous (and illegal) lengths to attempt to secure a conviction on two innocent border patrolmen?
The answer isn't pretty.
