A federal judge on Friday granted a motion to permit the public release of body camera footage and other evidence in the case of a Chicago woman who was shot five times by a Customs and Border Protection agent last fall.

U.S. District Judge Georgia Alexakis granted the motion from Marimar Martinez to publicly disclose body camera footage, photographs, FBI reports and other evidence in the case.

An attorney for Martinez, who was shot and wounded by a Customs and Border Protection agent during Operation Midway Blitz, had asked the court to allow the release of more evidence from the shooting -- including body camera footage, electronic communications and photographs -- in order to "combat the continuing harm to her reputation."

Among the evidence the judge ordered released is the body camera footage of Charles Exum, the CBP agent who fired the shots, plus two other agents; FBI reports on Exum and the other agents; audio of Martinez's 911 call; FBI reports regarding custody and medical treatment; and about 40 text messages Exum sent to friends, family and coworkers following the shooting.

1. Her testimony in front of Congress was powerful...

it had me in tears.

2. Same here

Between her testimony and the disabled woman in Minneapolis, I couldn't stop crying. All I could think was this could easily happen to anyone.

3. Yes, it was devastating to listen to and the bravery of all those who testified...

was front and center. They are the best of the best calling out the REAL worst of the worst.

4. Definitely very impressive

especially considering this administration's propensity for retaliation.

5. I hope she's invited to the SOTU address

along with families who've suffered similar atrocities.
I wrote my congresspeople to raise the suggestion though Chicago is far from my district.

6. The attempted murderer is still at large

Can't seem to find a picture of thug CHARLES EXUM.
