The evidence is overwhelmingly against the close range theory. The original autopsy results were that both shots were fired from a long distance by the same gun. Repeatedly the Mexican government has worked to cover-up human rights violations in Mexico and in this case has given Oaxaca’s police officers and sympathizers of the PRI the impunity to commit murder against the people of Oaxaca and journalists covering their story. In the lead up to this release, Friends and Family of Brad Will worried that this report would ignore eye witness reports from journalists and onlookers, video evidence, and other forensic evidence that proves that Will was in fact shot by PRI thugs. We are not ‘dismayed’ as this report states, but in fact more determined to seek justice over the many deaths that have occurred because of corrupt politicians and outlaw paramilitaries. The Friends of Brad Will are currently pushing for justice for Brad and all those killed in Mexico and fighting US legislation, such as Plan Mexico, that would give more military equipment to a country with a deplorable human rights record.
