My ten-year-old grandson asked me why Donald Trump wants to build a wall at the Mexican Border. I replied, “For the same reason we lock our door at home. All of the people outside might not be bad guys, but since there are some bad guys out there, we lock our door.”
During the trial, the judge decided to order the jury out of the room when Bracamontes decided to go on a verbal tirade where he not only admitted to murdering the peace officers, and that there’s no need for a trial, but that (as he smiled and smirked) “I killed f***ing cops. They’re f***ing dead. I don’t f***ing regret that … I will break out soon and I will kill more.”
The defense attorneys are attempting to convince the jury that Bracamontes was high on drugs and had no idea what he was doing.
