PHOENIX -- A Border Patrol agent was charged Monday with first-degree murder for shooting an illegal immigrant during a confrontation on the border in January.

An investigation found that Agent Nicholas Corbett's killing of Francisco Dominguez-Rivera, of Puebla, Mexico, was not legally justified, said Cochise County's top prosecutor, Ed Rheinheimer.

Corbett was named in a criminal complaint that also charges him with second-degree murder, manslaughter and negligent homicide. Rheinheimer said that a judge will determine during a preliminary hearing which of the charges is best supported by the evidence.

Skeptical?

Of course. I hope this agent gets a chance. Unlike many others.
