I believe it was Ramos, not Compean. And that has what to do with this case? Nothing. This information was only brought public by the US Gov't to smear the agents. In fact, Ramos' father-in-law has been one of his most vocal & loyal supporters. His wife is also very supportive, I have heard her numerous times on the radio. The Ramos family is living with their in-laws.
The public hears about unrelated deeds by the agents, yet the jury was not allowed to hear that the illegal alien was smuggling drugs when he was shot. The jury only heard that the scumbag was "working to support his family." They also did not hear that the same scumbag was later caught again smuggling 1,000 lbs of pot into the country. Of course, by then he had immunity & was not charged with the crime.
I stand corrected. Anyway, it has as much bearing on the case as the fact that he was nominated for BP Agent of the Year - which is, to say, none.
