If you read the DHS report, you will see that not only did Compean make several conflicting statements, his testimony at trial differed from Ramos's testimony at trial on the crucial question of the shootings themselves.
For example, Compean, who at times claimed he felt threatened, said he STOPPED shooting when he no longer felt he was in any danger. He said that after that point, Ramos ran past where he was STANDING, and shot the guy once.
Why would Ramos shoot the guy when Compean said the guy was no longer a threat? At trial Compean changed his story to say he was on his knees when he shot at him, not standing. Ramos said Compean was lying on the gound bleeding when Ramos shot at him.
Can you see why a an investigator, a prosecuter, and a jury might put more credence in the drug smuggler? His testimony matched the testimony of 3 other BP agents. The two charged agents couldn't even tell the same story.
