Ramos and Compean testified they made a point of looking at the suspect's hands and saw no weapon. Compean fired at least 14 rounds and Ramos fired once.

Hey Ruben Navarrette, since the trial transcripts haven't released, let's have a source for this so we can be sure it's not from the same Johnny Sutton who also lied when he claimed the illegal drug smuggler was shot in the back.

Ramos wounded the suspect and saw him limp into Mexico. The agents collected the shell casings and filed false reports, trying to cover up the incident.

Again, please source this incriminating statement that could only have come from Mr. Ramos. Every other report I've read said the illegal drug smuggler ran back to Mexico seemingly uninjured.

That statement wasn't incriminating in the least. Anyone who ever worked for the government in any capacity that required familiarization with weapons and target practice, are always equally indoctrinated into always policing up the brass.

Every other report I've read said the illegal drug smuggler ran back...

What reports? WND? The info. I read, from the D.A.'s office (your pal J.Sutton), states they shot him, hit him in the bootoks, and left him laying were he fell. Then picked up the spent brass.

The reports I've seen say that when he was on the Mexico side of the river, it appeared he was limping, or walking slowly.
