There's also the persistent story that Aldrete-Davila's mother or mother-in-law notified relative, Christopher Sanchez in our Department of Homeland Security to complain about his treatment by the former Border Patrolmen (after all, he was only smuggling the drugs we citizens are too lazy to smuggle). Sanchez apparently ferried Aldrete-Davila for treatment, gave him refuge in his home and managed to lose the extracted round...ALL of which was redacted from official reports.
If these curious circumstances aren't enough reason to reopen the investigation perhaps you'll find the following report reason enough to do so:
"Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila had been a member of the Vincete Carrillo-Fuentes Cartel, which had been aligned with the Mexicali Cartel before its demise in 2004. He also said that as a member of this vicious gang, Davila had participated in “The House of Death” in Cuidad Juarez, Mexico. The massacre, according to my source, resulted in the torture deaths of 30 people. The massacre was brought to light by Guillermo Ramirez Peyro, a former Mexican policeman who as it turned out was a ICE informant on the U.S. payroll. This prompted the DEA’s El Paso Field office chief, Sandalio Gonzalez to write a letter to his counterpart, Juanita Fielden at ICE complaining about the use of informants who are actively involved in House of Death murders. A copy of this letter was delivered to Fielden’s boss, U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton. This resulted in a cover-up, which was exposed by Michele Leonhart, the deputy administrator of the DEA."
While Ramos and Compean made procedural mistakes that may have warranted dismissal from service I sincerely believe that they don't deserve imprisonment with the sort of illegal aliens they were sworn to protect us from. If the above information is investigated and confirmed these agents place in prison will be filled by Sutton, Sanchez and other corrupt officials. Go, Tom, go!
I would have been happy with a simple dismissal for their jobs as border agents.

IOW, your claims have NOT been confirmed but are speculation.
Let me see if I have this right -
So Davila was involved in torture deaths in a border city (Juarez) - we had intelligence of that fact and this was withheld from the jury?
While perhaps in a very narrow sense you could say this could be excluded I think this is absolutely relevant to the case. Someone this vile would display a personality that would put me on guard if I were in enforcement. I would certainly want a BP to do everything to keep these people out of our country and it looks like Sutton is doing everything to have these people roam and terrorize the US.
