McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna has been selected as chairman of the executive board of the Special Prosecution Unit for the State of Texas.

Special Prosecution Unit was founded in 1984 to combat the growing gang violence in Texas prisons.

Since then, SPU has expanded to include not just the prosecution of felony criminal offenses that occur inside our prisons and juvenile justice facilities, but also the civil commitment of sexually violent predators.

"I am proud of the great work we are doing for the citizens of McLennan County. I am honored to receive, and am humbled by, the confidence of my fellow elected officials with my selection as chairman. I look forward to serving the board and ensuring that justice is served," Reyna said Thursday.

Two Twin Peaks defense attorneys responded to the news, saying they were shocked.

This comes just one week after Abel Reyna getting accused of corruption and drug use.

"I would expect someone in that position to be a steward of professional responsibility, and I would be hard-pressed to describe Abel Reyna as such." said Defense Attorney Casie Gotro, who represented biker Christopher Jacob Carrizal in the first Twin Peaks trial.

Another Twin Peaks attorney is also shocked that Reyna now holds this position.

"A man who has been alleged to political corruption, who has alleged ties to illegal gambling operations, and possible drug usage. Why on Earth has he been appointed to a position of authority? Especially something like the gang unit?," said Defense Attorney David Beyer, representing Twin Peaks biker Billy Jason Mcree.

They take care of each other. Rampant corruption is not limited to Washington DC and Texas is not immune by any stretch of the imagination.

As Texan’s are famed to say, they do everything bigger there. Why would corruption be any different?

Waco messes usually involve the BATF.
Waco is a testing ground for later Fedzilla plans.
