trapped by the prosecution — like a pinned bug
BumP
Juarez had to be the sleaziest of the bunch. He told 4 (or 5) different stories to the DHS-OIG investigator. In September, 7 months after the incident and being threatened by the Prosecution with an indictment, he must have finally told the story they wanted to hear--that he saw Compean fire a couple shots. Even the DHS-OIG investigator testified that he didn't believe this story. Juarez continued to change his testimony while on the witness stand. None of his story added up.
The thing about bot Juarez and Vasquez's testimony that doesn't make sense, as SueBob points out, is that both of them pretty much stood twiddling their thumbs while they heard gunshots. Neither of them ducked or asked the other where they thought the shots were coming from. Neither of them said they were concerned for their safety. Neither of them said they were concerned for the safety of their fellow officers over the levee. I sure hope this is not how our Border Agents perform.
They were pinned like a bug because their statements and testimony were so contradictory and unbelieveable that no one would believe them. Any of them.
