The reason the agents in the former cases were not punished is that the government was able to spin their actions as justifiable. This is important not only to the governments' image, but also to that of the agents themselves. If the government can spin that an agent had good reason to open fire on someone, a jury is not likely to regard such action as impugning the agent's integrity. This guy's actions, while less severe than those of Reno, Horiuchi, et al., were far less justifiable.
