Feds oppose agent's parents becoming part of case

PHOENIX (AP) — Prosecutors are opposing a request by the parents of a Border Patrol agent fatally shot near the Arizona-Mexico border to become a party in the case against a man accused of buying two rifles found at the shooting scene.
 
They argue the request by Agent Brian Terry's parents shouldn't be granted in the criminal case against Jaime Avila and 19 others accused of participating in a gun smuggling ring.
Prosecutors say Terry was a murder victim, but he wasn't a victim of Avila's firearms offenses as defined under the Crime Victims' Rights Act.

What else could any logical person think?

The feds do not want the family's attorney to have access to the evidence, evidence that I'm guessing is very damaging to the U.S.

I bet it's more damaging to the Obama crowd.
