What the heck is up with jury?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila, a Mexican national, was wounded as he ran from the agents along the Rio Grande after they said he pointed what appeared to be a gun at them as they tried to apprehend him. Nearly 800 pounds of marijuana, worth $1 million, was found in the van that he abandoned at the river's edge, the Border Patrol said.

I do not understand how the jury could've come to this verdict.

Get this .. talk about an upside down world .. sweet Lord:
Mr. Aldrete-Davila, who was given immunity by prosecutors to testify against the agents, also received care at William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso. He is suing the government for $5 million for violating his civil rights.

Conflicting testimony and changed stories on the part of the agents. The jury must have believed the agent shot the illegal drug dealer in the back. The agent claimed the the guy was facing him sideways but turned just as the agent fired.

What about the drug dealer apparently pointing a weapon at the agents?

While they are at it, why not pass a law that you can file criminal charges but you can not sue, or receive any government compensation if you were committing an illegal act at the time?

O'Reilly covered it fairly and he's sick about the verdict too,. They are talking about giving these two GOOD men 20 year sentences.

Indeed. They need congress or the AG to step in, and maybe they will.

Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila, a Mexican national,If he's on our side of the border, he should be referred to as an "illegal alien."

IIRC, one of the agents won Best agent of the year award and I think he won it twice.
We'll keep them in our prayers.

Absolutely. I missed it on O'Reilly ... it's really shocking that the Border Patrol IG went over the border, tracked down the drug dealer criminal, and gave him immunity to testify against the agents. Why all this effort? They already had the perp on the drugs, didn't they?
