They probably don’t know anything about it, they watch the wrong media sources. Give them a day or two to get their talking points.

We are only talking about the past to avoid the present or some stupid thing like that will be the over all theme.

Just shocked they haven't chimed in yet with it.

Brian Terry's Killer Has Conviction Vacated by Appeals Court​


The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the conviction and sentence of the man who killed Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes was convicted in 2020 for his role in the 2011 murder of Terry, which was made possible by the ATF-run gunrunning operation known as "Fast and Furious." Osorio-Arellanes was arrested by Mexican authorities on April 12, 2017, and subsequently sentenced to life in prison.

The appeals court said Osorio-Arellanes had confessed to “essential elements” of the U.S. government's case against him while being interrogated in a Mexico City prison.

On appeal, he argued that he was entitled to a new trial because his confession was taken in violation of his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, as well as his Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel. He also argued that he did not have a fair trial, and his attorney said he is illiterate and didn’t understand the proceedings.

“Our holding does not decide Osorio’s ultimate responsibility for his actions. The Government can still retry this case,” the appeals court said in its new ruling. “Nevertheless, his direct appeal reaffirms the potency of our Constitution’s procedural protections for criminal defendants, which ‘are granted to the innocent and the guilty alike.'"

IANAL, but given the lack of forensic evidence, it is highly unlikely that Osorio-Arellanes will be tried again if the government can't use the confession that got this conviction thrown out. It will also call into question the convictions of some of the six other men also convicted in Terry's murder.

"Fast and Furious" was an ATF operation that then-Attorney General Eric Holder wanted to use to build a case for increased regulation of firearms in border states. The operation allowed straw purchasers, particularly in New Mexico and Arizona, to buy firearms illegally and transfer them to Mexican cartels. When these were recovered at crime scenes, they could be used as evidence that the cartels were getting their guns from the US. At least 300 Mexican nationals were killed, thanks to Eric Holder and the ATF.

Exclusive: Brother of Murdered Border Agent Brian Terry Seeks Justice After Mexican National’s Conviction Overturned​


1738285888744.png

Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s convicted killer faces a new trial in February after a federal court reversed his conviction. Now, Terry’s family is praying for lasting justice, Terry’s brother told Breitbart News.

Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes was convicted in 2020 by a federal court in Arizona for the December 14, 2010, murder of Agent Terry after investigators tied one of the weapons found at the scene of Terry’s murder to the Fast and Furious gun-running program conducted during the Obama administration..

Agent Terry and his team had been tracking Mexican Sinaloa cartel “rip crews,” who cross into the U.S. to attack migrants and drug smugglers. When the agents encountered the crew, crossfire left Terry mortally wounded.

Osorio-Arellanes admitted to the murder. But a three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that the confession obtained from Osorio-Arellanes, which came while he was in custody in a Mexico City prison, was taken in violation of his Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights and that the Mexican lawyer representing the defendant in Mexico City did not provide effective counsel.

His new trial begins February 3.

Agent Terry’s brother, Kent Terry, recalled the story of Agent Terry’s death and the pain brought upon his family by his own government’s failures.

Kent told Breitbart News his brother’s four-member team had been tracking the rip crew for several months, finally tracking them down in late 2010. One of the agents “stood up and yelled “policia, policia!’ And no sooner he got the second policia out, the rip crew just started firing back at him.

Two of the AK-47s found at the crime scene were traced back to Fast and Furious. More than a decade later, no one in the federal government has been held accountable for the program’s failures, causing further uncertainty and pain for the Terry family.

The overturning of Osorio-Arellanes’ conviction was a fresh blow, but Kent is hopeful that under Trump and his nominee for Attorney General, Pam Bondi, his brother will receive justice through the courts as well as investigations into Fast and Furious.
