Did the agent fire at Sammy for no reason and without identifying himself, killing the dog? Yep
Did Sammy fire back in self defense? Yep. He had no way of knowing the machine gun fire from behind trees was a cop. Sammy acted in legal self defense, no jury in the US or Canada would have convicted him. You missed that part, not that you give a shit because it was a poor kid in Idaho that was murdered.
Did Sammy flee? yep
Did the agent fire another burst from his SMG after Sammy was fleeing?yep
Did the rounds hit Sammy in the back? Yep.
Did Harris kill the agent? yep.
Was Harris convicted of murder? Nope. The jury ruled it was legitmate self defense for the reasons stated above.
Did the USMS claim Weaver shot Sammy? Yep.
Did a police ballistics expert prove the USMS lied and proved the rounds in fact came from the USMS issue Colt sub machine gun? Yep.
Did one of the FBI agents in charge go to prison for obstruction of justice? Yep.
That is what the facts of the case were, that is why the tax payers coughed up millions of dollars to the Weaver family. That is why an FBI agent is in prison.
