I hear ya.. The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin and Sara Carter and a few other rags and some at FR seem to be the only ones trying to get the word out.

I did find some interesting tidbits in the old El Paso Times articles. Ramos was offered various plea deals, but declined all of them believing he did nothing wrong. The last offer was to serve one year in prison and pay all of the drug smugglers medical expenses.

Those medical expenses were probably not small. While Sara Carter mentions only being shot "in the buttocks," the EPT reports at various times that his urethra was "severed," "ruptured," or "shattered" and had to be "rebuilt."

The defense also presented evidence that the drug smuggler was not hit in the back, as some allege (medical records showing the angle of the bullet's entry). The defense also attempted to expose other agents who had relatives or friends "on the other side of the law."

Not good (imo) for Compean, the EPT reported that he picked up only nine of his shell casings at first and later sent another border agent back to retrieve the other five. The agent testified that he threw them in a canal. Lots of covering up going on.
