Marijuana growers or mistake?

[bwiese]

I hope the prosecution has something better than eyewitness statements. Those
ought to be inadmissible in court by now, particularly when witnesses are called
on to identify someone of a different ethnic background.

LOL.

This statement amuses me.

Cav,

It's been repeatedly demonstrated that cross-racial witness identification has substantial reliability issues.

The old pejorative, "They all look the same to me..." actually has basis in scientific fact.

Hell, same-race eyewitness identification from untrained individuals is faulty enough given context variables (lighting conditions, similar clothing, etc).

Wonder if they had Hunting Licenses?

They may be growers but the rifles, scopes, and plastic ammo boxes sure look like target shooters / hunters to me.

Exactly, my first thought too -- there aren't many mexican national dope growers making hand loads.

From the sound of it, the evidence against them looks paper thin. Overzealous DA.

"Attorney Michael Clayton, who is representing Barragan and Lopez, said his clients, whom he called “avid hunters”, had single bolt-action rifles.", this wouldnt happen to the one from that movie would it? The fixer, george clooney? I thought he was an anti gunner.
