Johnny Sutton In Hot Seat again As Records prompt call for new Ramos-Compean trial?
The DEA documents and Department of Homeland Security investigative reports already presented by WND contradict the prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, who repeatedly has insisted to the public that smuggler Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila was not a suspect under investigation in a second drug incident.
Sutton gave Aldrete-Davila immunity to testify as the prosecution's chief witness regarding the Feb. 17, 2005, shooting incident on the Texas border that led to prison sentences for Ramos and Compean of 11 and 12 years respectively.
In a statement released by his office, Rohrabacher said, "Upon review of these new documents, it is obvious that U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton knowingly presented a false picture of the drug smuggler in order to justify his ruthless prosecution of Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean."
Rohrabacher plans to hold a press conference today at 2:30 p.m. Eastern time in the House TV Gallery, H-321, in Washington.
A spokeswoman with Rohrabacher's Washington office confirmed to WND the congressman now has evidence Sutton's office was notified by the DEA of Aldrete-Davila's direct involvement in a second offense.
"Sutton chose to disregard the information, despite the evidence produced by the DEA," Rohrabacher told WND. "Sutton's continuous attempts to paint a benign picture of the drug smuggler is not only disingenuous but amounts to misleading the jury and the public when questioned about the second offense."
Rohrabacher's spokeswoman, Tara Setmayer, told WND the congressman considers the recently obtained DEA reports sufficient basis to demand a new trial.
WND has confirmed with Sutton's office the information contained in the DEA reports matches the information from a Nov. 21, 2005, memo by DHS Special Agent Christopher Sanchez, which was highlighted in a WND story.
According to both reports, Aldrete-Davila brought a second load of 752 pounds of marijuana across the border in bales packed in a 1990 Chevy Astro van he drove Oct. 22, 2005.
The smuggler brought the drug load to the home of Cipriano Ortiz-Hernandez at 12101 Quetzal in Clint, Texas. Ortiz-Hernandez positively identified Aldrete-Davila to DEA investigating agents from police photographs.
WND has obtained both the Texas ID number and the Social Security number of Ortiz-Hernandez.
Texas law enforcement officers confirm both numbers are recorded for Ortiz-Hernandez in current state law enforcement databases. The officers told WND Ortiz-Hernandez has a criminal record in addition to the Oct. 22, 2005, drug investigation.
Rohrabacher spokeswoman Setmayer told WND Sutton's attempt to seal the information about Aldrete-Davila's October 2005 drug offense was an intentional effort to withhold from the jury information the prosecutor knew would discredit the smuggler as a witness, thereby destroying the prosecution's case.
"Sutton chose to hide the second drug offense so he could convict Ramos and Compean, rather than do his duty as an officer of the court in allowing the truth to come out," Setmayer said.
Answer:
Sutton should be in prison, not Ramos and Compeon. So should his staff, his assistants and many of the DOJ.
These border patrol agents are heroes and should be with their families.
BTW, how do you think Sutton would like being in a med. security prison in the general population - interesting visual, don't you think?!
maybe justice will prevail after all. i know i signed a petition to have Ramos and compean removed from prison. they was doing their job and defending our borders. as for the liars in office, they should be thrown in prison for falsifying court documents.
Okay, malpractice, organized crime, supporting illegal activities, conspiracy to defraud, fraud, how many other crimes can we attach to these illegal immigrant supporters?
People who do their jobs need to be released and given medals not thrown in jail. Why would anyone trust a drug smuggler for any reason.
Also, how about we find out where Sutton gets his money. Tie him to organized crime and treason.
Just because the drug smuggler continues to smuggle drugs, doesn't mean the border patrol agents were innocent.
The sad part is that many people don't even know who Ramos and compean are.
I'm so sick of these scumbags we have in high places. How do these people sleep at night? I'm sure Bush doesn't even care what happens to Ramos and Compean himself. He seems to be in love with all the illegals we've got coming here. I'm so tired of him after all this illegal immigrant stuff - and I voted for him!
I sent a letter to my state senator asking to help get a pardon for Ramos and Campeon. My reply was a copy of a 4 page letter that senator Orrin Hatch had recieved from Sutton explaining how all of the publics concerns were a myth. A letter full of deceit as far as Im concerned,I wonder how much he makes off the drug deals? I hope Sutton gets what he deserves,I hope they put him in jail and the mexicans beat the living hell out of him.
God, I hope this information is solid beyond belief.
Do you want to know why I hope that?
Totally aside from what I hope will be justice for the two border patrol officers....
I would LOVE to see the New York Times, the LA Times and the Chicago Tribune, etc., scooped by WND.
Maybe people would start asking questions about the stories mainstream press choose not to investigate or discuss.
