As I stated, get it straight.

You had the opportunity to quote the testimony where Ramos and Compean supposedly testified "they were aiming for the back of his torso on each and every shot". You didn't provide the quote. That is due to the fact that they did not testify what you asserted. You have a habit of making things up.

The actual testimony from volumes 12 and 13


Ramos vol 12 page 209
3 Q. And is that what you saw, was -- I mean, I know you used
4 your left hand. Is that what you saw?
5 A. That's what I saw.
6 Q. Okay. Are you absolutely sure that he had a gun in his
7 hand?
8 A. On that day, at that time, I believe so.
9 Q. Okay. Were you absolutely 100 percent sure?
10 A. At that time, I was.
11 Q. Okay. How about today, looking back on it? Do you think
12 he had a gun or do you know?
13 A. I can't be sure.
14 Q. Okay. You can't be sure. What do you think?
15 A. He had something in his hand.
16 Q. Okay. Now, what did you do when the suspect made the
17 motion that you just demonstrated? What did you do?

20 A. One time.

Ramos vol 13 page 74

23 Q. He's running, you said, Parete -- trying to get back to
24 Mexico. But when you say, Parete, he stops and turns around to
25 shoot at you, correct?


Compean vol 13 page 162
1 A. He started running. I looked up, and I saw him running
2 away. A few seconds later I saw him turn around, and he was
3 pointing -- he was pointing something at me.
4 MR. ANTCLIFF: I would ask that he be allowed stand
5 up, Judge.
6 THE COURT: Sure.
7 BY MR. ANTCLIFF:

9 and gentlemen of the jury how -- what you're talking about

13 this (indicating).
14 Q. Did you see -- you can sit down.
15 Did you see a gun in his hand?

1 down on two knees. I came up on one knee and began firing.
2 Q. So you -- on one knee, you're firing at him?

6 mentioned to Agent Sanchez, it was about 10 or 11 rounds.
7 My -- my gun never went empty, so it couldn't have been more
8 than 12.
