Vol. 153. Pt. 17 prosecutions star witness was an illegal drug dealer who was fleeing Ramos and Compean after he brought in a million dollars worth of dope. The jury knew that. but what they didnt know was that he was given full immunity for that crime and an unlimiteduse visa to come and go across the border unchecked anytime he pleased. And most important. another fact the U.S. attorneys office fought to keep the jury from hearing. was that during the trial he used that "getoutofjailfreecard" to bring in another load of dope. This is all information that the jury needed to know to judge the credibility of the witness.
