Bury declared a mistrial at 1345 today. More on this breaking story as it becomes available. The prosecution has not indicated whether it will try a third time. In the meantime, this embarrassment to Federal law enforcement is free to take the law into his own hands as he sees fit!

Murder in the Desert - Corbett case goes to the Jury

The fate of a U.S. Border Patrol agent Nicholas Corbett charged with murdering Javier Dominguez Rivera is now in the hands of the jury. U.S. District Judge David C. Bury handed over the case to a 12-person jury about 2:30 p.m. Thursday, after they sat through a morning of closing arguments that demonstrated contrasting accounts of what happened in the Jan. 12, 2007, shooting near the U.S.-Mexican border between Bisbee and Douglas that left Javier Dominguez Rivera dead.   Prosecutors say Corbett shot and killed Domínguez Rivera while the 22-year-old was trying to surrender. They brought his two brothers and ….Read More

Murder in the Desert - More thoughts about the trial of Nicholas Corbett

How do you defend a Border Patrol Agent where the evidence suggests the person is guilty? In the case of Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Corbett, you call the witnesses LIARS! And why would you call the witnesses liars? Because they’re Mexican’s of course! Not proper courtroom procedure but that seems to be the case here. Last week, lead special prosecutor Grant Woods told the jury that Corbett’s story did not match the evidence from the scene. Meanwhile, he added, the eyewitnesses made statements that were consistent with the autopsy, ballistics and forensics. Keep in mind, it took Corbett several instances ….Read More

Murder in the Desert - World Net Daily and Jerome Corsi trying to influence Nicholas Corbett trial

It took Jerome Corsi long enough to come up with distorted “facts” concerning the Nicholas Corbett case, but in a piece erroneously titled Mexico accused of framing border agent, he seems prepared to put the case in the Court of Public opinion as he did for the case of convicted felons Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. Nicholas Corbett is on trial on second-degree murder charges in Cochise County Superior Court in Bisbee, Ariz., in connection with the shooting Jan. 12 of Francisco Javier Dominguez Rivera, a 22-year old illegal immigrant from Mexico. But in all fairness to Corsi, not that ….Read More

Murder trial begins in AZ for illegal immigrant shooting

A murder trial tinged with international controversy that begins this week will determine whether a U.S. Border Patrol agent was justified in shooting an illegal immigrant near the Mexican border. Jury selection will start Tuesday in federal court in the case of Agent Nicholas Corbett, who is charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter and negligent homicide in the Jan. 12, 2007, death of Francisco Javier Dominguez Rivera. Corbett’s lawyers contend that he acted lawfully in self-defense after being threatened; prosecutors contend the shooting wasn’t justified. The case stands in contrast to that of El Paso, Texas, agents and convicted felons Ignacio ….Read More
