First of all they never ever did a cover up...They had their supervisors there...The penalty for what they did according to the BP regs was five days suspension...There was several agents there that knew that they had shot at the drug dealer...They never ever thought that they hit the guy and did not find out till a month later..All they had to do was make a verbal report but because their supervisor was there and he or she never asked for it...They did not do it...and they regret it but it make it seem like some big Clinton cover up took place and I am sorry that is not true.....What they did was a mistake and not a cover up in my opinion...From listening to Johnny Sutton he still claims that the drug dealer was shot in the back and the Doc who did the surgery said he was not...I do not like dirty cops but I cannot stand a lawyer who embellishes the facts to get a conviction...Like the Duke case...It appears your convinced they are guilty...Fine that is your right...I have been looking at this case almost since it first came out...The case is full of holes and Mr Sutton needs to keep his facts straight when he appears on tv...In my opinion he fails the smell test...

They are guilty and convicted at this stage.... that's fact. Now their appeal may reverse that conviction and order a new trial or remand the case back for further action by the trial court. What I'm basing my thought process on is the jury heard the case and voted unanimous in 11 of the 12 charges against them.

Was the jury bought off?
Did they have incompetent counsel?
Did the jury members fail to follow their sworn jury charge?
Did the Judge railroad the jury?

I don't know and that's part of the appeals process.
