Should a Mexican Drug Smuggler Get 5 Million for lost profits and punitive damages?
“Osvaldo was making $100,000 a month from his export/import business,” Boyaki said. “Now he is laid up with an embarrassing and incapacitating injury. We are seeking both compensatory damages for lost profits and punitive damages for the indignities Osvaldo has suffered.”
Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean recently began serving prison sentences after being convicted of shooting Aldrete-Davila. The pair encountered the drug smuggler in February of 2005 driving a van containing 743 pounds of marijuana. When the Mexican tried to flee, the agents shot him in the buttocks.
“They violated my client’s rights,” Boyaki said. “And the damages are mounting up. He’s got customers whose deliveries have been interrupted. This is trashing his business reputation and endangering future sales. His employees are too frightened to carry on in the climate of violence created by out-of-control border guards. They are demanding raises. His family has had to cancel their European vacation. He has no money to buy gifts for his mistress. It’s a real tragedy.”
Answer:
Selling drugs is illegal. So therefore any profits made from illegal activity would be seized.
This has surely got to be a joke.
Where is his pride?
He is announcing to the entire world with these complaints that he is a criminal,adulterer and incapable of taking care of himself or his family in an honorable way.
Total trash, I hope he gets a staph infection and rots in his bed.
Sorry, this really irritated me, I can find no gentle words.
No, and they shouldn't have shot him in the *** they should have aimed higher.
No, the law does not protect criminals both in civil and criminal instances.
So now drug dealers can get workman's comp...
WTF is this country coming to?
Why the F is that guy representing him...some people will do anything for a buck.
They both need shot...right in the head!
please tell me this is a joke.If not no way in hell should he get anything.He was breaking the law at the time he got shot they didn't kill him he should be happy with that and maybe a light prison term.
Hell no,Sutton is a terrorist, so is Bush,The mexican brought more drugs to them. Im so happy to pay for that,NOT.
Just a prime example of illegal immigration policy. What part of ILLEGAL do these people not understand?! Stick his wounded butt in jail and then deport him with a a tracking device embedded in his flesh. We need to keep track of those known criminals coming and going across the border.
What civil rights - he's an illegal alien criminal. The criminal part is not just the fact that he's here illegally. He a drug smuggler that the jury believed instead of the two heroes!
I think they should put the bullet back into his butt - not really so don't report me
Without a doubt, NO!!!! He needs to be brought up on drug charges...of course, I bet THAT is why Bush pardoned him.
No he should definitely not get $ 5,000,000 CZ he shouldn't have put himself in that situation ( drug smuggler) however lets remember that the man was unarmed and shot 15 times.
Absolutely. And the prosecutor who gave him immunity should be forced to pay it from private funds.
It serves our government right.
He will get ZERO $$$$
Im thinkin if im a mexican maybe I will have some rights in America?HUm,lets be beaners and get free living,and sue the government? Im sure Sutton will be our lier? Yep and we can smuggle drugs in and join the gangs ,well they say keep you friends close and your enemies even closer?
Sounds like Osvaldo and Boyaki, have become great friends and are tying to venture into business together. Osvaldo needs his @ss kicked and Boyaki, needs his nuts kicked and disbarred. Enouge is enough,,believe it or not, some dirtbags also wear suits>>>>, not just crappy clothes with holes in the @ss....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i think my head is going to explode.
one of the border agents got beaten by about 5 mexicans in jail. i thought he was supposed to be in solitary so that couldn't happen? this is such a travesty.
The prosecutor need to be disbarred, and the illegal alien drug smuggler has no rights here, he should be put in prison for drug smuggling and then deported. This government is turning upside down. Good people are being prosecuted and the criminal is being rewarded.
um no, but maybe medical bills for being shot.
They should have been fired not imprisoned. They are taught to be much better shots than that.
