>> Ramos got screwed by Compean’s inability to control his anger. But they both screwed themselves with their unbelievable “black shiny object” story, their inconsistent and unpersuasive testimony, their attempts to cover it up and their defense attorneys horrible strategy.

So no, they don’t belong in prison but they also don’t deserve adulation and uncritical support of their actions.

Thanks Bob.

I think it is likely that Ramos, hearing those shots, thought what I would have thought: Compean was in a real firefight.

I also think it is unlikely that Compean was really trying to shoot OAD. Compean had a shotgun and would not have missed if he really wanted to hit him.

Right. He purposely left it on the ditch slope because he hasd no intention of shooting to kill/maim, he just wanted to show OVD a little “what fer”.
