i doubt it goes to trial. two guys are serving 10 years in jail for being convicted of trying to assassinate this man for running away. i don't think they did that, but sutton believed the known liar drug runner over two basically independent agents that both said they saw a weapon. look at it this way. ramos heard a barrage of shots. he pursued, saw a guy aim a weapon at him, fired one shot, hit the guy where you'd expect to hit him if he were aiming as ramos said he was aiming and landed a decade in jail. sutton has been spinning lies left and right (let's be honest, hiding the truth by telling partial truths is lying). the drug runner will get out of jail for his second million dollar marijuana run, he'll make a couple million and he'll probably end up living high on the hog and wasting the money - all for running drugs and, very likely, pointing a weapon (or some object) at the border guards. this isn't about ramos and compean, though. this is all about pointing out to border agents that they will do long time if they don't stand down on bush's border. congress is having hearings today - hopefully, sutton can't weasel out of the truth while under oath. i also hope this isn't just a dog and pony show.
