U.S. border cop charged with murdering Mexican

Tue Aug 7, 2007 7:34AM EDT

BISBEE, Arizona (Reuters) - A U.S. Border Patrol agent must stand trial for murder in the shooting of a Mexican man trying to enter the United States, an Arizona judge ruled Monday in a case that drew criticism from Mexico.

Agent Nicholas Corbett was charged in April with four counts of homicide in the January 12 shooting of Francisco Dominguez Rivera shortly after he crossed the border illegally on a stretch of desert between Douglas and Naco.

Cochise County Justice of the Peace David Morales ruled the evidence supported lesser charges of second-degree murder, but threw out charges of first-degree murder, which supposes premeditation.

The ruling followed a preliminary hearing that heard evidence from three illegal immigrants present at the shooting, a pathologist, county sheriff's detectives and two Border Patrol supervisors.

No date was set for Corbett's arraignment.

Following the killing, Mexico's Foreign Ministry complained of "disproportionate violence" and instructed the Mexican Embassy in Washington to investigate the circumstances.

Last year, border police captured 1.1 million undocumented immigrants crossing over the border from Mexico and recorded a soaring number of attacks on agents.

Lawyers for Corbett argue he shot Dominguez Rivera in self-defense after he was threatened with a rock.

I am amazed how easy people kill, and also how they earn support for killing someone. I agree he is an illegal and they should not come in. If they do i would put my anger towards the goverment. I have in my mighty goverment arsenal many weapons that will knock you out good but NOT kill you. I know they look dirty don't know the language and so on and so on but they still have a mom or a child somewhere...... and however whatever they are it is not an excuse for you becoming a civilized "animal"

Was the illegal trying to do something to the BP agent?

Yes and no. Do you know it? I don't. And if so there are few methods to avoid a killing......... if you want.

Yes and no.

Yes and no.

Lets start with the basic premise here. Is the "Mexican" an illegal and thus a criminal or was he a legitimate tourist?

If he was illegal and a criminal, does that place him in a different light in respect to the border agent?

Admitting we are dealing with a criminal, one that is threatening me with a rock, the shooting is justified.

Had the "illegal" been able to disarm the agent and kill him, you would not be here???

1) No doubt he is an illegal. Thus a criminal...... please..... i think you know to differ between criminal and illegal work seeker. 2) Nope. Before the law all the same till proven guilty. 3) If you watch Fox news long enough and get phychotic about your own shadow i guess so. 4) I would. I don't care if its an illegal or an citizen that had a drink too much and gets shot.

If you go by the lawyer book, YES. But again......... common sence to differ.

I just want to make it clear........... it has nothing to do that he was-is a mexican. My whole point is how everybody is so easy and comfortable with killing and shooting a human beeing. All about the "i felt threatend" argument.

No one's ever seriously thrown rocks at you, have they?

"after he was threatened with a rock" is what the artikel says.

So, using that logic, I should wait until I'm hurt before attempting to defend myself.

No thanks.
