Your continuing problem is that you take every word of Compeans as the truth, even though the jury ruled he was lying his ass off.

Another BP Agent testified that Compean told him after the shooting that he thought Ramos had hit the guy. This means he not only observed the shooting but saw OAD drop after the shot and thought he was hit.

Please quit posting Compean comments as fact. He lied his way through his testimony, the jury saw it and jailed him for it.

The jury made no such ruling.

What other BP agent testified that Compean told him such a thing about Ramos?

The individuals there at the scene and later at the station were:

Juarez
Vasquez
Jacquez
Mendoza
Yrigoyen
Mendez(he did not testify)
Richards(FOS)
Arnold(Supervisor)
Medrano
Which one? Here is what Jacquez and Mendoza testified

2 Q. And is he a stickler for all kinds of paperwork?
3 A. Oh, yes.
4 Q. Why do you say that, Oh, yes?
5 A. Well, he goes by the -- by the books. He will go the extra
6 mile to -- to do the job.
7 Q. And, sir, on -- at any time, did either Agent Ramos or
8 Agent Compean, on March -- I'm sorry -- on February 17, 2005,

10 had been shot at?
11 A. No, sir.

4 and I've read your statements. And I -- did you do anything
5 wrong on February 17th?
6 A. I don't believe I -- I did. But apparently, to the eyes of
7 the Border Patrol I did, since they put me on administrative
8 duties.
9 Q. Well, I was going to ask you about that. Why are you on
10 administrative duties?
11 A. Well, I came to find out that Agent Compean had mentioned
12 something about telling me that he had -- they had shot
13 somebody.
14 Q. I see. So they put you on -- did they -- they didn't --
15 but you gave a statement, and I think your first statement was

17 A. Yes, sir.
