I can see them getting fired for not reporting the shooting, but allowing a drug dealer back into the U.S. and ignoring the fact he was running drugs, and then also testfy against them is an absolute insult.
This incident reminds me of the fishing expedition the Florida AG had against Rush Limbaugh's doctor shopping and Ann Coulter's voting in the wrong precinct. There is a lot more to this, than this Forest Dump getting shot in the buttocks.

I agree with that too. This whole case is sickening. I just read on the other thread what Tony Snow had to say about the President pardoning them. I never thought I would dislike Snow so much as I do now. ....I heard after the border agents trial that some of the jurors were confused and did not realize that these agents were getting jail for so long. Anyone else know or hear about this? It was awhile ago and I can't remember which news show.

I`m pro-cop and anti-illegal, but, if the BP agents didn`t know that Juan was hauling drugs and he wasn`t threatening anybody, these two agents were wrong and that`s probably why the jury convicted them. We may not like that but thats the law.

I found the info on the jurors on another thread.

The problem was that the jurors were under the impression that a hung jury was not an option. Gourley, a special education teacher, and Torres said that the foreman of the jury told them that Cardone would not accept a hung jury. Woods said she heard the same statement but could not remember which juror said it.

"Essentially, when they saw they could not convince the majority in favor of voting guilty, they conceded their votes, believing that they did not have the option to stick to their guns and prevent a unanimous verdict," Stillinger wrote in the motion."
