Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila The Department of Homeland Security's report on the case of imprisoned Border agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean notes the drug smuggler they pursued left behind his cell phone, but there appears to be no evidence investigators made any attempt to identify him.
Moreover, the disclosure directly contradicts prosecutor U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton's repeated statements that there was no evidence that permitted law enforcement officers to track down the drug smuggler, Osbaldo Adrete-Davila, for prosecution.
The DHS report, which was heavily redacted, notes the discovery of the cell phone as follows:
Aldrete-Davila stated that he had nothing in his hands as he ran toward the international border. When asked if he possibly could have had a cellular telephone in his hands, Aldrete-Davila reiterated that his hands were empty. He advised there had been a cellular telephone in the van, but stated it was left behind. [Agent's Note: The Form I-44, Report of Apprehension or Seizure, completed by Jose Compean, noted that a cellular telephone was discovered inside the van.
The DHS report failed to include the Form I-44 referred to in the above paragraph.
WND also has obtained a transcript of the testimony of Border Patrol agent Arturo Vasquez at the Ramos-Compean trial. On page 84 of that transcript, Judge Kathleen Cardone of El Paso quashes the defense attempt to discuss Davila's cell phone.
From reports I've read, Johnny Sutton is a real piece of "work".
Sutton claimed the illegal drug smuggler was shot in the back. The truth is that he was shot in the left side. As the illegal drug smuggler is left handed that is exactly how he would turn and point a gun at an approaching law enforcement officer.
Sutton claimed the agents didn't file a written report. Border Patrol regulations prohibit agents from filing a written report in a shooting incident, the supervisor or investigator must file the written report within three hours.
Just two of the many falsehoods told in this case.
