Mexico is withholding key witnesses that could exonerate Border Patrol agent Nicholas Corbett of second-degree murder charges and paying for others to testify against him, asserts a union leader.
Brandon Judd, vice president of U.S. Border Patrol Union Local 2544, told WND the Mexican consulate is taking care of all the expenses of three Mexican witnesses to the shooting so they can remain in the U.S. to testify against Corbett.
Corbett has been indicted on second-degree murder charges in Cochise County Superior Court in Bisbee, Ariz., in connection with the shooting Jan. 12 of Francisco Javier Dominguez Rivera, a 22-year old illegal immigrant from Mexico who allegedly was threatening to throw a rock at the officer.
Judd said the witnesses prepared to testify against Corbett are Dominguez's two brothers and the girlfriend of one of the brothers.
"The Mexican consulate is providing all three with food, housing, and clothing – everything these three individuals need, such that they don't even have to work while they are waiting to testify," Judd said.
Judd further charged that the Mexican government is intentionally hiding three other witnesses who could absolve Corbett.
"There were Mexican aliens who Corbett had arrested prior to the incident with Dominguez," Judd explained. "These three witnessed the shooting from the back of Corbett's Border Patrol van, and they could see clearly exactly what Corbett was doing."
Judd said the two brothers and the girlfriend all testified Corbett was pointing a gun at them while he was driving, "yet the three aliens who were in the back of the van said they never saw Corbett holding a gun."

I am first to be “ shocked “ by this
“Judd further charged that the Mexican government is intentionally hiding three other witnesses who could absolve Corbett.”
This alone should be grounds for immediate dismissal of the case.
We could use them to invade and whip the ass off those arrogant, loathsome cruds down there.
lol!
as a gringo living in socal,
i never expect to be treated equally by mexican nationals.
they treat you like you’re a plantation owner.
“you owe me”.
I can’t imagine anyone in his right mind wanting to be a Border Patrol Agent under these circumstances.
BTTT
Prosecutors often “hide” witnesses or make them hard to find when it will help the prosecution. That’s not something the Mexican government just thought up.
You caaaaaaand prove tht, of course????????
OOOOPS! Gotta throw the cat out — he’s too much ‘help’ — and he can’t spell or type worth a plugged nickel.
But it's hiding the witnesses tht can help the defendant that earns the crudbuckets the "they-ought-to be-shot" award.
Bush has already proven himself more loyal to Mexicans than to U.S. citizens.......the immigration bill fiasco proved that.
Didn’t Bush say that Sutton, who got the two agents imprisoned for 11 and 12 years, was his friend and other compliments? The agents who shot a drug smuggler in the butt. Sutton got the smuggler amunity to imprison the agents. And Bush complimented him? Has Cheroff done anything to secure our borders? Isn’t the article clear as to what Mexico is doing. And the federal government is letting it happen. Didn’t Bush want the amnesty to pass? Direct evidence I don’t have. But can read between the lines. From what I know of this the federal government is doing nothing to support an American border agent. And who is at the top?
Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
Just doing the suborning of perjury and paying off of witnesses that Americans won’t do ...
Ping!
Is the prosecutor a Bush family crony?
I despise Mexico, let me count the ways
Sorry but GW has to be borderline retarded to want to partner up with that wretched nation. Same for the rest of the hacks in DC
I want as little to do with it as possible
