Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I think I had figured out the bullet would have had to be in Davila for about FOUR weeks...

He ran across the Rio Grande real good for a guy with a bullet in (his back), and then jumped/scambled up into the truck that was waiting for him...all unaided...(from a later description of his injuries, he was in no shape to do so..)

The bullet could have come form one of FOUR different types of guns..among them the type thst was allegedly used to shoot him...the bullet was never actually connected to the BP gun...

Why werent finger-prints taken from the truck full of 700+ pounds of drugs? And from the cell-phone?

Why were the cell-phone messages not “traced?” That’s one part of the reason Scott Peterson was proven to be the murderer of Laci..

Why is the “October drug load” still “under investigation” TWO years later? Why has Davila not been charged?

Why were vital parts of the drug smuggler’s activities sealed and kept from the jury?

Why was Sanchez never investigated for using government equipment fraudently in order to set up Ramos and Compean....

Why was the connection bertween Sanchez and Davila never questioned...and considered compromising...

Another piece of the puzzle that got buried: that truck full of drugs was registered in Texas. That means it belonged to a Texas resident. No mention was every made as to who owned that vehicle.

A full investigation of this matter would make the Washington DC madam's phonebook look like small potatoes. Those drug thugs pay off personnel on both sides of the border, personnel in high places.

I really wish some conservative minded director would present this whole border patrol saga in dramatic form. It would sell like hotcakes.

“Why werent finger-prints taken from the truck full of 700+ pounds of drugs?”

I can answer that one. In drug mule cases law enforcement doesn’t check the load for fingerprints because the people driving the vehicles are almost never the ones that loaded them. If they took fingerprints then the drivers could come back and say, “look, this proves we didn’t load this dope, which supports our story that we didn’t know anything about it.” I’ve handled thousands of pounds worth of drug mule cases as a defense attorney and in my experience law enforcement almost never checks the load for fingerprints. At least where I live and work the standard practice is to not check the load for prints in the drug mule cases. They never do it in my area and they seize thousands and thousands of pounds of dope of the highway running through my county every year.
