The government dropped its case against Marimar Martinez but her lawyers say it has refused to correct the record after calling her a “domestic terrorist.”
Government lawyers argued that the release of Exum’s text messages would further sully the agent and his family.
The judge pushed back. “I don’t know why the United States government has expressed zero concern for the sullying of Ms. Martinez’s reputation,” Alexakis said.
If the text messages of Agent Exum show deep remorse for the killing or immense anger with the system that put him in the position he needed to kill then I think that would reflect well on Agent Exum.
If instead it shows him making jokes about the victim or boasting about the killing then, yes, Agent Exum’s reputation will be further sullied.
The government is telegraphing what the tone of his text messages are even before they are being released.

She’s not dead. Just FYI.
I’m very glad to hear that! Thank you for correcting me on this.
