Another fine job by federal persecutorswho kissthat Mexican butt. Where is Wya?
"A former deputy sheriff in Texas, jailed for shooting at a van loaded with illegal aliens whose driver was trying to run him down, has been released from prison and says he was set up by the Mexican consulate and the prosecutor."
Former Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez was released yesterday from a halfway house, finishing the prison term to which he was sentenced for the shooting incident, in which two fleeing Mexican illegal aliens were wounded. He was in federal prison from Dec. 1, 2006, to Sept. 13, 2007, about 10 and a half months.
While he's happy to be home, Hernandez feels he suffered an injustice at the hands of the U.S. government, which acted at the direction of the Mexican government.
"The prosecution was not right," he told WND. "The prosecution used their tactics, which was a bunch of lies, let's put it that way, I would never have been prosecuted if the Mexican consulate had not demanded it."
As WND reported earlier, Rocksprings Sheriff Don Letsinger said investigators had no plans to bring charges against Hernandez until the Mexican government intervened and demanded the prosecution.
"Deputy Hernandez had a right to stop that vehicle," Letsinger told WND.
"Can you look at what happened and say that Deputy Hernandez intentionally wanted to injure someone in that vehicle? You cannot. Deputy Hernandez did not want to injure anyone that day. He fired at the tires to stop the vehicle and he was justified in doing so."
WND also reported the incident was investigated by the Texas Rangers who also did not recommend Hernandez be prosecuted."
