palm

Horticultural note: The first of the fabled palm trees was imported.

Outfitted in his green Border Patrol uniform, Bovino testified that he witnessed Ramos-Brito drag his arm back and strike an agent with an open palm in the chest.

“We have a really great collection of Ginkgo trees as well, and Sago palm cycads.”

As he climbed down off the edge of the roof, he left palm impressions where forensic experts went to collect DNA.

Investigators have collected footwear impressions, a palm print and forearm imprints for analysis, he said, and “are confident in our abilities to track that individual.”
