Greg Jackson
Role at the time: Civil attorney for Carlos Jimenez
Condemned
Statement summary
Jackson said the shooting was unlawful, the charges were baseless and Jimenez was complying with an order to drive away.
“Their agreement to dismiss with prejudice bolsters our own argument that the shooting itself was unlawful and the charges against Mr. Jimenez entirely fabricated and baseless. The shooter, Agent Ortiz, violated department policy by firing his weapon at a moving vehicle, and Mr. Jimenez was in fact complying with Mr. Ortiz’s orders to drive away when Mr. Ortiz tried to murder him and shot him anyway.”
