To receive treatment for his cracked pelvis and severed urethra and to meet with investigators.
"...and acquaintences have revealed a prvious drug delivery in TX."
Which "acquaintances" are those"
"Following the immunity given him by our government, he delivered another large load of drugs.
According to whom?
"One reviewer of this article said he Mother of Osvaldo Aldreto-Davila has friendship with a high ranking Bush Cabinet member, possibly in homeland sec."
Which "reviewer" was that?
"That is why the border agents are kept in prison."
Couldn't possibly have anything to do with being convicted in a court of law by 12 impartial jurors.
"The Drug smuggler has freedon to roam the USA whenever he wants."
Baloney. As mentioned above he was given a pass to receive medical treatment, be interviewed and attend the trial. It's over.
"If true, what is our government doing making 'deals" with Mexican drug smugglers?"
Because of Ramos and Compeans sloppy work, the perp was able to escape back to Mexico. They didn't know who he was or where he lived so any chance of building a case was gone. The problem is there was this messy loose end of Ramos and Compean's illegally shooting a fleeing suspect in the back. Your absolution of any wrong doing of these BPA's because the suspect was mexican reminds me of the ATF's and FBI's responses to Ruby Ridge and Waco (He was a gun runner, who cares?! They were cult members, who cares?!).
The law regarding how and when LEO's can discharge their weapons has to be enforced evenly across the board no matter who the victim is or none of us are safe.
"The obvious travesty here is the excessive punishment by the judge..."
That's called a chicken coming home to roost.
The Smuggler’s momma said he always went armed.
ALWAYS.
None of the ELEVEN witnesses to the shooting thought he was hit at the time.
Nobody was able to match the bullet to the Officers’ guns.
He could easily have been shot for losing the 750 lbs of pot, by his cohorts.
The ENTIRE prosecutorial/judicial group are W cronies—doing his bidding to assure Mexico we aren’t going to be tough on their major industry and source of income. This fiasco also has the added benefit of DEMORALIZING the BP.
Whatta twofer.
I read the transcript, as did you, [although I will need to reread it to refresh myself at this late date] and did not arrive at the same conclusion you did. Others likewise read it and differed in their opinions. Reading the transcript, while giving you creditability, does not give you infallibility. Nor does the fact that the jury decided a given way make that opinion true. It may be a legal decision, but the question is was it an uninformed or coerced verdict? Because of evidence withheld or, worse, distorted, the jurors might not have made a “proper” decision. That is why we have judicial reviews and, as a last resort, pardons.
The pass you question was reported to be a humanitarian pass not requiring an escort across the border or specific appointment. I think his pass was finally revoked last January when it became apparent, even to the prosecutors, that Davila was using his pass for no good.
Just yesterday, on the nightly news, it was reported that Congress had finally gotten through the FOIA confirmation that Davila was identified carrying drugs a second time that October.
Davila confessed on a call to a US Border Agent, whom was a boyhood friend of his, that he smuggled drugs into the US and that was why he was reluctant to come forward about the shooting. [Who prompted him to come forward is still murky.] Davila’s relationship with that Agent was never fully explored. However, Sen. John Cornyn stated he felt there was adequate evidence to charge Davila. Sutton chose not to and chose to blame Ramos and Compean.
While it may not amount to a conspiracy, there was Mexican gov’t involvement in this case and others. At this point no improper connection has been made...at this point. Your belief in the execution of laws is laudable, but when those laws are improperly or excessively applied, people lose respect for both the laws and those who administer them. What I see is not a single case, Ramos-Compean; what I see is an abuse of prosecutorial power by Johnny Sutton and his cohorts and that concerns me gravely.
