This was the lynch pin case for the prosecution that they were using to build a,general conspiracy. In that sense, it was a lot like the first of the Freddy Gray prosecutions. After they lost that, they weren’t likely to win any of the following cases. This hung jury will cause a lot of potential jurors to believe there’s a reasonable doubt about the lead defendant’s guilt. That dooms that case and all of the follow on cases. I’ve earlier posted that this is a FUBAR mess unlikely to result in any convictions. My prediction stands.
Good analyses. Anyone could see this coming. It was way over charged and now it is a disaster for the city of Waco and We are talking $multi millions in McClennan county down the drain.
No common sense. Many careers now ended. Politicians will be under enormous pressure to dismiss all charges. I called that.
I agree with that analysis.
If the State can prove that Carrizal led a criminal conspiracy against the Cossacks, then all the Bandidos and their associates are put in jeopardy just for showing up wearing their colors.
Based on what I've seen so far, I don't think the State proved their case.
