It’s well worth the listen.
Bogan has been indicted, said his El Paso-based attorney, Carlos Spector, under the Mexican federal firearms law, which charges “that he attempted to clandestinely introduce firearms used exclusively by the Mexican military” into the country.
Spector, appearing on the program along with Dennis Mckenye, head of Demco Transportation, noted his defense of Bogan has been to show that, clearly, there was nothing clandestine about the alleged attempt to introduce the ammunition into the country. “Why would a 26-27-year-old African-American roll up with that amount of ammunition [in broad daylight] and think he could sneak it in – it’s obviously an honest screw-up.”
Mckenye testified to the lack of any history out of the ordinary with Bogan, who’s been under Demco’s employ for three and a half years.
“He’s a dependable driver,” said Mckenye. “It was an honest mistake which landed him where he is right now.”
El Paso, where Bogan delivered a partial load prior to his wrong turn across the border, is not a regular destination for him, said Mckenye. In his time driving for Demco, he’s been to the city fewer than five times.
