Mayfield, 37, attended high school in Buhler and Halstead before going to Hutchinson Community College on a track scholarship, his mother said.
After serving in the Army, he studied law at Washburn University in Topeka and finished his degree in Oregon, where he now has his own small office and practices family law, she said.
AvNell Mayfield said FBI agents came to her home and asked questions about her son Thursday.
Brandon Mayfield has not left the country since he took a trip 10 years ago to visit his wife's family, his mother said. She thinks her son, who she said is a soft-spoken family man, is being treated unfairly because he is Muslim.
"He is not a militant person. He is very law-abiding, very quiet. He is a devout Muslim and goes to mosque," she said.
"This is an outrage."

Are you saying that once any agency, no matter how local, has your prints, they are available to any agency in the world? That is a bit scary.
Not necessarily, but the feds have access to all of your federal records, and it's likely that all major state agencies are also part of the networked databases.

He's listed as an "immigration attorney" -- I wonder how many sleeper cells we have due to his efforts. We'll more than likely find out, unfortunately.

Are you saying that once any agency, no matter how local, has your prints, they are available to any agency in the world? That is a bit scary. This isn't the early twentieth century, all it takes to go completely around the world is a little bit of cash, a passport, and perhaps a visa. Of course local law enforcement agencies, federal governments, and Interpol are going to share whatever information they have on a suspect, including fingerprints, particularly when it involves a serious international crime such as this one.
My fingerprints are on file and I don't find it "scary", because I have no intentions of going somewhere and killing a bunch of people.

If true, I hope they give him a fair trial and a quick hanging.

Brandon is probably pretty shocked at how effective law enforcement has become. Ten years ago...he could have done the same offense and just walked away with no worry. He has to be sitting in a cell now, and wondering how the US government will handle his export to Spain. There is no death sentences in Spain...but they will lock you up for 20 years. My guess is that the FBI will turn his entire house upside down. All of his phonecalls over the last three years will be reviewed. His connections will be exposed.
But the real question here...his fingerprints were on this plastic item left at the crime scene. What was Brandon doing in Spain? He is a lawyer and not likely to be used for "action" requirements. My guess is that he is supposed to be a support cell member only. Why go to Spain? Why get involved in their operation? Unless...their operation fits into the US as well. I keep thinking of that character that the immigration guys grabbed up in Seattle about four years ago with the explosives. Could Brandon have been the support cell guy who was supposed to help that dude get safely into the US?

I asked this in another thread, but how could they track this guy's prints like that? From what I read, he didn't have a criminal record.He's ex-military.
The government has two sets of my prints, one from the military and one from a routine procedure for a wall street job, one requiring a license. I have no criminal record.

" I asked this in another thread, but how could they track this guy's prints like that? From what I read, he didn't have a criminal record. " You don't need a criminal record to have your fingerprints with the FBI. Mine went there 3 different times for 3 different reasoms, and I have never been remotely part of a criminal investigation:
They got my prints:
When I went into the Army,
When I worked briefly for the Dept of Corrections
When I worked for an Airline and needed an airport ID.

Arlene Witt said the Mayfields didn't do anything in particular that was suspicious.
But their Muslim dress and children's names, Shane, Sharia and Samir, stood out.
Well, looks like Ibrahim Hooper of CAIR has gotten his wish after all.
The Muslims have now gotten Sharia in the USA...by any means necessary!
(OK, it's not actually Shari'a law...yet.)

Good point, I would bet that information is already known or could easily be discovered.

I think that the Homeland Security started requiring fingerprints last year and all states must participate.
This year your social security name must match the same name on your driver's license or no renewal as my wife found out. This is another Homeland Security security precaution.

The FBI, or state equivilant, i.e. TBI, KBI, process fingerprints for many security clearance applications, both for government and private agencies. Once they got 'em, they got 'em.

http://www.katu.com/news/story.asp?ID=67123 Her stepson went into the Army right after he graduated from high school, "because he felt that was the right thing to do," she said, and was posted overseas in Germany.
Mayfield met his Egyptian-born wife, Mona, while stationed near Tacoma, Wash., at Fort Lewis. Records from Washoe County, Nev., show the two were married in 1998. Mayfield converted to Islam after marriage, Alexander said.
Mayfield, who is 37, comes from a family of non-church-goers, Alexander told The Associated Press.
"When they started having children, he thought they should have some religion to have the family focus on," she said.
Leaders at the Bilal Mosque in Beaverton, Ore., said he would show up regularly for prayer on Fridays, and that he helped congregants who needed legal advice.
I don't know if the sniper John Mo and this POS knew each other. However they both were in Ft Lewis and the Tacoma Area.
This does makes one want to reach for his/her tin foil Freeper Conspiracy hat.
