He was guaranteed a conviction on that charge, even though he had sufficient evidence to charge them with attempted murder.

I hate to rain on your parade, but Ramos and Compean were charged with attempted murder. They were found not guilty on that charge even though they admitted shooting to kill. To me the testimony clearly indicates that they were justified in the shooting.

I stand corrected.

That was indeed count 1 of the indictment and I erroneously focused on counts two and three. My mistake.

To me the testimony clearly indicates that they were justified in the shooting.

The testimony discloses that Aldrete-Davila was unarmed and fleeing.

In those circumstances, trying to kill him could never be justified.
