I spoke to a retired BP agent with almost 40 years service about this case. He said they should have been fired but not tried for a crime. According to him, once a weapon is fired, it becomes a crime scene. They picked up the spent shells and tried to cover up what happened. That was their mistake, not the shooting itself.

Yes. Had they shot him and came clean about it, I would be against any prosecution in the case.

If this were in rural Midwestern America, and the person shot an American citizen, we'd all be up in arms about jackbooted-thugs. But because the victim was an illegal alien, we want him shot like a dog?

Well was it a crime or not?....... Now which crime[s] you prosecute can be adjusted. Remember they were convicted on several counts each, not just one.

Ramos and Campion claim that their supervisor watched them pick up the spent shells and assumed that he was making the report. They did not know that the fleeing suspect had been hit.

But Ramos did neither of those things. Only Compean.
