The argument is that they were wrongly convicted. Your assertion that they shot an unarmed man was not proven in court. Unless of course you believe the drug smuggler’s testimony.

That is what really chaps my hide. Ramos was truly acting in a responsible fashion. He was the only one to cross the ditch to support his fellow agent. He reacted as I hope I would in such a situation. As he crossed the ditch, probably a little less urgent at first, because the ditch water is filthy, he heard the shots which made his trip a little faster. He came running over the levee to see Compean down. He then saw Davila just short of the river and yelledd stop. The rest of the event is known. What we don't know for sure is whether Davila had a gun or not. But dollars to donuts, Davila was turning back to his left when he got the bullet spanking.

I suppose the jury was swayed by the officers being the only ones involved in the incident who were in the possession of fire arms and the smuggler being the only person on the scene bleeding out of a gunshot wound.

Testimony from other law enforcement officers that claim the two border agents picked up empty shell casings to alter the scene may have also been detrimental to their case.

“Your assertion that they shot an unarmed man was not proven in court. Unless of course you believe the drug smuggler’s testimony.”

As a matter of fact I, as the jury, rejected most if not all of OAD’s testimony. I came to the conclusion the shoot was bad and the R&C were lying based on their own unbelievable stories, their attempted cover up and the testimony of fellow agents whose statements directly contradicted what they said.

This has been said over and over and you keep with the idiotic “you believe the drug dealer” bullshit.

Go soak your head bungwipe, I’m tired of your lies and distortions.
