HOUSTON (AP) — A former Border Patrol agent who went to prison for shooting a fleeing drug smuggler wants a retrial.
Ignacio Ramos tells the Houston Chronicle that he believes new evidence surfaced while he was in prison. He offered no details.
The 40-year-old ex-lawman says his attorney plans to seek a new trial within two months.
Ramos and Jose Compean were released from prison in February 2009, weeks after then-President George W. Bush commuted their sentences.
