9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturns Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes' 2010 murder conviction for killing Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, citing constitutional rights violations during interrogation in a Mexican prison. The case is linked to the "Fast and Furious" operation, where the ATF lost track of weapons supplied to Mexican drug cartels. Case sent back to U.S. District Court in Arizona; possibility of retrial exists.
