Terry’s death exposed the “Fast and Furious” operation, in which U.S. federal agents allowed criminals to buy firearms with the intention of tracking them to criminal organizations.

TUCSON, Arizona – Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes was sentenced in federal court today to life in prison for his role in the murder of 40-year-old U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry on December 14, 2010.
On February 12, 2019, a federal jury found that Osorio-Arellanes, 41, was part of an armed crew of bandits that murdered Agent Terry while they were attempting to rob drug smugglers transporting drugs from Mexico into the United States. Osorio-Arellanes was convicted of nine counts, including first degree murder, second degree murder, conspiracy to commit robbery, attempted robbery, assault on four Border Patrol Agents and carrying a firearm during a crime of violence. Osorio-Arellanes is the sixth of seven defendants in this case to be convicted and sentenced to date.
“Brian Terry exemplified the very best of law enforcement: A selfless, determined agent who was committed to protecting the people of the United States,” said U.S. Attorney Robert Brewer of the Southern District of California. “The United States has vigorously pursued justice for Agent Terry’s family and for the men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol. A life sentence for Agent Terry’s murder cannot eliminate his family’s suffering. But it is our hope that this sentence brings some degree of comfort to Agent Terry’s family in knowing that the individuals responsible for his murder will be held accountable.” read more
As much as I couldn’t stand W in his last term, even he wasn’t stupid enough to continue gun walking.
This is on eric holder’s hands. He should be in prison.
I’d like to see the guy get out prison after a year.
In a pine box.
A long time coming but finally some justice. Now charge obama and holder as accomplices, co-conspirators, colluders, whatever and give them the same sentence.
This is good news. Agent Terry RIP, and grant his Family the same thru Jesus Amen.
Leftist anti-gunners want to hold Americans who have their guns stolen from them accountable for crimes committed with those guns. This should apply doubly to oblowme and his henchman, holder, since the guns weren’t stolen but were, in fact, made available!
The wheels of justice grind slowly, but exceedingly fine.
Has Pe-LOUSY posted his bail yet? 😡
Life sentences are a waste of resources and a clear sign of a lack of moral fortitude. If you’re too much of a shrinking violet to pull the trigger, then hold a lottery. There are plenty of us willing to put an end to this creature’s existence and save the taxpayers millions of dollars. We’ll even provide our own ammo.
Time for the civil suit against Eric Holder.
Only took 10 years to render justice on the maggot. How about putting Holder on trial for “giving him the gun”?
And this open and shut case took 10 years because…….?
