ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SUES THE COUPLE ACCUSED OF SHOOTING HIM
Oscar Hernandez Pinto was illegally crossing the border with about 30 other people in Santa Cruz County in Arizona when he was shot at and hit in the arm. The couple whose land the immigrants were on, Jerry and Jane Chap, were arrested, but neither as yet has been charged with any crime in connection with the shooting. Mr. Pinto has, however, taken matters into his own hands, filing suit against the couple for assault and battery. He is seeking $ 250,000 in compensatory damages and $ 500,000 in punitive damages. He currently remains in a hospital in Mexico receiving treatment for his injuries.
