Why wait for tomorrow? ...THREE Jurors:

Jurors say they were misled to convict agents
Inland Daily Bulletin, October 18, 2006

EL PASO, Texas -- One man and two women on the jury that convicted two former El Paso Border Patrol agents of shooting a drug smuggler in the buttocks last year said they were misled into agreeing with a guilty verdict, according to a motion filed Tuesday.

Mary Stillinger, the lawyer for one of the agents, Ignacio Ramos, thought the jurors' statements should be grounds for setting the verdict aside and having a new trial for Ramos and fellow agent Jose Alonso Compean.

The three jurors, identified in court documents as Robert Gourley, Claudia Torres and Edine Woods, said they were still holding out on a guilty vote by the second day of deliberation.

"I did not think the defendants were guilty of the assaults and civil rights violations," Woods wrote in her sworn affidavit.
