Hey idiot... did ya notice the tampering charge(s) included such allegations as picking up brass? C'mon, I've been around this circle umpteen times.

You said they were not convicted of "failure to report." I posted the charges for which they were convicted for exactly that alleged act.

Compean was also convicted on Count 7 which included "picking up brass," as you call it. No such charge was ever brought against Ramos.

Here’s the thing: you don’t understand what the word “charge” means, in a legal sense. Ramos and Compean were not “charged” with failure to report, they were “charged” with tampering—with evidence of failure to report supporting the “charge.”
