This is a complete fiasco which I consistently predicted. In Texas , if you get in a gun fight and you live to talk about it it is self defense . Waco will literally bankrupt itself on this madness plus many of the dead were shot by law enforcement with AR15s where none of the accused had AR15s not one bystander was hurt. This is funny to watch, Prosecution will now dismiss a hundred cases and all should be fired by the voters who are looking at a major tax increase.
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.
