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.

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


Mendoza - Direct by Mr. Gonzalez 35
1 A. That's correct.
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,
9 ever tell you that they were in fear of their lives, that they
10 had been shot at?
11 A. No, sir.
12 Q. Did they ever tell you they had shot at anyone?
13 A. No.

Mendoza - Cross by Mr. Peters 37
1 Border Patrol agents kind of like to seize these loads, right?
2 A. Well -- well, yeah, to some people it is.
3 Q. Okay. On this day -- and I've listened to your testimony,
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
16 back in March, last year?
17 A. Yes, sir.

Jacquez - Direct by Mr. Gonzalez 75
1 Q. Start fueling what up?
2 A. Fueling up?
3 Q. Yes.
4 A. At that time, at the gas pump.
5 Q. Who comes up to you?
6 A. Vasquez.
7 Q. What does he say?
8 A. Tells me there were shots at the scene, and that Compean
9 had shot him.
10 Q. And does Vasquez tell you he picked up the casings?
11 A. No.
12 Q. Who had shot him?
13 A. Compean.

I post the testimony. So don't make demands on me buddy.

Heheh. All you’ve done is prove that at least one agent testifies that after the shooting Compean was aware of the fact they hit someone. Now I don’t remember the exact wording, he might have said “I think we might have hit him” leaving the question of whether it was Comp or Ramos open to the agent and he assumed it was Comp because Comp was counting out shell casings and telling him to pickup the ones he missed around on top of the levee area. After 15 rounds I’d also assume it was Compean who hit him as well, I mean how does a well trained BP agent sharpshooter miss 15 times? ;-].

You know, the TOP of the levee where Jacquez testifies he SAW Compean shoot and where that agent found 5 new, spent .40 caliber Beretta shell casings right where Comp told them they would be?

Of course, Compean testified he never shot from the levee but at the bottom or just inside the vega, you know, right after his struggle with OAD where he got dirt thrown in his face and scratched up.

Because if it was true Comp shot from the top of the levee it would mean he was lying about chasing him down, struggling and getting dirt “throw in his eyes” and that was his explanation for the dirt and scratches the other agents noticed.

What a situation for Comp, getting bested and bloodied by an illegal alien AND then not even capturing him would make him look really lame in front of his peers.
