Family of slain agent weighing legal action.
How weapons got in border bandits' hands 'important,' lawyer says Family of slain agent weighing legal action


By Brady McCombs Arizona Daily Star | Posted: Thursday, June 23, 2011 12:02 am

The family of slain Border Patrol agent Brian Terry has retained former Arizona U.S. Attorney Paul Charlton to determine if there is any legal action to take in connection with his slaying.

Charlton, Arizona U.S. Attorney from 2001 to 2007, said the Terry family asked him to review the facts surrounding the events that led to Brian Terry being killed on Dec. 14 in a shootout with suspected border bandits near Rio Rico.


Charlton said he will be reviewing all the facts surrounding the events of Terry's death, including which weapons were used in the shootout and where they came from.

"How those weapons got there are obviously going to be very important to us," said Charlton, who is now a lawyer with the Gallagher & Kennedy law firm in Phoenix.


"We ask that if a government official made a wrong decision that they admit their error and take responsibility for his or her actions," Josephine Terry wrote. "We hope that all individuals involved in Brian's murder and those that played a role in putting the assault weapons in their hands are found and prosecuted to the full extent of the law."
