Government admits lying about jailed border agents (DHS fesses up - Rep. Poe ticked!)

[Mr. Mojo]

....and they are probably more honest than the guys who prosecuted them.

Heck, the Mexican drug runner is more honest and upstanding than these prosecutors.

[Arizona Carolyn]

The National Border Patrol Council of the American Federation of Government Employees.... they took the multiple press releases put out by Sutton and corrected the record on all the things he claimed were realility.. for instance, did you know Sutton claims this all took place in the middle of the night -- when, in fact, it took place in broad daylight at one o'clock in the afternoon.

In this case Sutton claims Ramos stipulated the bullet came from his service weapon....

in fact he did not and an Army surgeon at William Beaumont Army Medical Center removed a bullet fragment from the smugglers right thigh on March 16, 2005 at 7:45 p.m.

That evening Christopher Sanchez an investigator with the DHS Office of Inspector General, took Davila AND the bullet fragment to his personal residence for the night.

This action broke the chain of custody for the bullet fragment. The following day Sanchez submitted the bullet to the Texas Department of Public Safety for testing. The report concluded the bullet was fired from a barrel having six lands and grooved inclined to the right.

The manufacture of this bullet could have been from five different types of guns and because of the handling of the bullet the DNA was removed and could not be conclusively linked to the smuggler or either of the BP agents.

This alone casts reasonable doubt on the entire case.... because we do not know, beyond a reasonable doubt, this bullet came from either agents weapon of if this man was shot at another place and time.

Too many unanswered questions in this case for them to be serving ten years in prison.

I believe the gov't and prosecutors are protected by sovereign immunity

DC Chapter short list ping

In case you missed this.

[Arizona Carolyn]

You are being a jerk on this thread, but I'll answer nonetheless: The angle of the bullet was as follows: It entered the lower left bottocks and passed through the pelvic triangle and lodged in his right thigh. In CSO-speak this is consisten with the motion of a left-handed person running away while point backward, causing the body to twist. The agents both testified he was running away and pointing an object that appeared to be a gun at them.. the evidence of the bullet path actually bears out their testimony.

It appears that the original poster was saying that Sutton was brought in to prosecute this case and that he is not the USA in the western district.

[freedom1st]

I'm so glad Ted Poe is my Representative.

[Arizona Carolyn]

I believe it was his district... he actually has his hands all over an even dirtier case than this case... but he was promoted, recently, by his friend Alberto Gonzalez.

[erton1]

Then obviously the jury didn't believe the testimony.

[editor-surveyor]

The jury was not allowed to hear the testimony.

[erton1]

I can assure you that Sutton is the USA for the western district. I am not aware of any promotion of Sutton.

[CharlesWayneCT]

You have allowed opinion into your assertion of facts, and expressed disputed facts as if they are incontrovertable.

[CharlesWayneCT]

So you deny they shot at the man?

You deny Compean picked up his shells?

You deny that Ramos exceeded the speed limit in chasing the van?

You deny that the two agents did not inform the supervisor?

You deny that the two agents filed reports which were false?

[erton1]

Are you saying that the rules of evidence were violated by the trial judge, or that the agents had incompetent counsel. If the judge erred, then that would be a point of error for the appeal, assuming the error was preserved for appeal. My understanding is that the agents retained their own attorneys and that they were not appointed by the court.

[AnnaZ]

You deny that Ramos exceeded the speed limit in chasing the van?

LOL.

[Dante3]

Let's not forget the misrepresentation by Ms. Debra Kanof (you can google her photo).

[erton1]

Does any of this have to do with whether the agents are guilty or not. I frankly doubt the 5th Circuit cares on appeal about these allegations.If I were these guys, I would be preparing for the appeal, getting a legal defense fund together and hiring new, criminal appellate specialist attorneys. I will be surprised of anything in the way of a pardon is going to be considered until the appellate process is over. Btw please show me where Sutton claims the incident occurred at night. My understanding is the testimony at trial was that it occurred at 1 p.m. in the afternoon and his talking points indicate the same.
