Biker attorney seeks to replace judges, demands immediate release of clients
Waco Tribune ^ | 5/26/15 | TOMMY WITHERSPOON

An attorney for two men arrested in the May 17 Twin Peaks shootout between rival bikers says his clients are being held illegally and is seeking to replace all McLennan County judges connected to the case.

Austin attorney Adam Reposa alleges in motions filed Tuesday that the charging documents filed against his clients, and the 168 others jailed in the chaotic melee, are legally insufficient.

He also claims that the $1 million bonds are unreasonably oppressive and that the judge who set them and the judges who, so far, have not reduced them have shown bias and should be recused.

Reposa represents Jimmy Pond and Thomas Paul Landers. He said Pond, a mechanic from Hays County, is the sole supporter of his family, which includes a disabled wife and autistic son.

Besides the recusal motion, Reposa filed an application for writ of habeas corpus, alleging a client is being held illegally and without proper cause, and a motion for emergency release so Pond can go home and take care of his family.

After the shootout, in which nine were killed and 18 wounded, Reposa said officials “commandeered” the Waco Convention Center as a makeshift holding area while they tried to sort out the magnitude of the event.

Somebody might tell this attorney that a number of people were killed in the event.

The attorney for the guy who killed 4 just blocks from Biden’s house says his client is the type of guy you would like your grandmother to have lunch with.

Why 170 persons arrested on million dollar bails? Were they all holding a knife to a cop’s throat? All over the parking lot and restaurant?

Or is the Waco mass-arrest and mega-bail a massive gag operation and cover up?

Where are the videos? Where are the cell phone videos? What caliber did the killing, from what range?

The “official version of events” is a joke. If it was even close to reality, we’d already have seen the videos, and we’d know the calibers and ranges.

Do his clients have priors? If they were such dedicated family men, central to their well-being and survival, why be involved in this event?

Check this out: http://www.avvo.com/attorneys/78701-tx-adam-reposa-78597.html#resume

It took him two years after graduation from law school to pass the Texas bar. He has also been disciplined by the state of Texas.

I guess he is a hearse rather than an ambulance chaser.

The lawyer does his best to come across as a nut case, but if the article is to be believed (difficult with all the spin) then he’s doing the right things for his clients.

I suspect that if the local judiciary drags it’s collective feet much longer, the ACLU is going to show up and the bikers are going to walk on civil rights issues. Guilt or innocence will no longer matter at that point.

But then I’m just the tiniest bit cynical.

Next time, it will be something like an open-carry 2nd Amd rally.

An instigator will provoke a SWAT reaction. When 9 are dead and 170 arrested on million dollar bonds, people just like you will say:

Do his clients have priors? If they were such dedicated family men, central to their well-being and survival, why be involved in this event?

In the media, the dead and the arrested (million dollars each), will be called “Violent right wing tea party terrorists who attacked the police, forcing the police to respond.”

Fools like you will nod in agreement.
