Illegal Shot by Jailed Border Agents - Arrested!

February 28, 2007 |

In sweet poetic justice. The man who cut a deal and testified against two border agents was caught again smuggling drugs. This knowledge was kept from the defense for the two agents. The prosecution also seems to have known and kept it under wraps. Now there is proof.

The drug smuggler who was shot in the buttocks by two El Paso Border Patrol agents who went to prison for it was involved in another drug smuggling attempt, U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., said.Rohrabacher said he would talk today in a news conference in Washington, D.C., about new evidence he said proves that Osvaldo Aldrete Davila was again involved in drug smuggling after the Feb. 17, 2005, shooting.

U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton had repeatedly denied knowledge of a second arrest but Rohrabacher said Sutton’s statements were misleading because Aldrete Davila was not arrested either time.

The agents also picked up support from San Bernardino County’s Board of supervisors because the agents were not given due process by their own agency.

President Bush should consider pardoning two former Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting an alleged drug smuggler, according to a unanimous resolution by San Bernardino County’s Board of Supervisors.”This case appears to be a highly unusual situation where law-enforcement agents were not supported or given due process by their own agency or by the courts,” said Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt, who proposed the resolution.

I am not sure how long it will take but eventually there will be enough pressure to take action on behalf of the agents.
