I said the testimony makes clear that Compean was aware that Aldrete-Davila was unarmed.

I'm asking you to support that statement with actual testimony. I have shown you testimony where Compean clearly states he thought Davila was armed.

And I would like to know too.

I have shown you testimony where Compean clearly states he thought Davila was armed.

Again, Compean has to say he believes Aldrete-Davila was armed because if he doesn't he is admitting to attempted murder.

My point, again, is that Compean's own described behavior and his description of Aldrete-Davila's behavior prior to the magical discovery of Aldrete-Davila's weapon - as gone over exhaustively on this thread - shows that Compean behaved as if Aldrete-Davila did not have a weapon until the magical moment which Compean now conveneiently remembers, and that Aldrete-Davila did not act as if he was armed until that magic moment too.

Basically we are to believe that Compean normally confronts suspects on the assumption that they are unarmed and that Aldrete-Davila completely forgot that he had a gun until the last moment.

No sale.
