Late last month, Pima County prosecutors Rick Unklesbay and Kellie Johnson filed a new list of possible witnesses for the cases against Shawna Forde, Jason Bush and Albert Gaxiola. Their list starts with law-enforcement officers, but I'll start with the civilians, who seem more interesting.

The only lack I notice is that of any U.S. Border Patrol or FBI agents. Border Patrol agents were first on the scene, according to the 911 recording, and the FBI apparently had some early reports on Shawna Forde, then helped arrest her.
Of course, the filing contains this boilerplate language "The State further gives notice that this list may notbe all inclusive and that the State may call any witnessses suggested by the evidence or needed in rebuttal."
