Is that what happened? Cause that is not what I heard, or interpreted. I heard that they did NOT know he was a drug smuggler until after they shot him. In fact, they didn't even see him in the van, they just saw the guy running away from the van. There was no evidence this guy was even linked to the marijuana in the van. The 'drug smuggler' wasn't even arrested for drugs until a few months later, and it wasn't connected to this case.


At least Former President Bush knew that these 2 border patrol agents got a fair trial and just verdicts. I just don't like the whole idea that these two guys "suffered enough for their crime." Ummm...so are we gonna let out other criminals cause they 'suffered enough?'

Like I said, since none of us were there who knows what really happened or what was going through these guys minds when this was going on. Did he hear a gunshot and saw his partner on the ground...?

I mean, is there any evidence of this? Or is this just "possible-world" conjecture?

Even though none of us was there, there was a trial and evidence (or lack there of) was presented. I'm pretty sure that is more than just "hearsay" and rumors.

His partner was definitely not on the ground.
