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.

Did you know that if you turn the Waco city emblem upside down it say “911”

Yep, exactly. The amount of precision shots seem to be on static targets from benched or long arms. Kinda like an ambush.

All the club bikers interviewed from the area said they knew of the bad blood and expected that it would erupt at some time.

Is it fair to ask whether the Sioux customarily killed women, children and the wounded?

Were any of the surviving Sioux taken away for slow torture to death?

Why do we apply today’s standards to the white combatants but not the Indian fighters?

You’re firing blanks, TexasGator. Old non-news and one-sided “coverage” is all you have left. You are intellectually bankrupt and can only TROLL. How about we wait for the autopsy and ballistic reports to be released...you know, the ones that the Waco/ATF authorities are sitting on and not releasing.

This past weekend the motorcyclists owned Washington, DC with their annual Rolling Thunder activity for Memorial Day. Does anyone know what kind of motorcycle groups take part in this event??

Oh wow

Were you there cheering on the day Matt and I and others got the bolt in 2005 over amnesty and arguing with poor Tony Snow

I can go back and look

Just because we think the cops are acting a mite quore over all this and other suspicions doesn’t mean you gotta get so personal with Matt

Time will tell won’t it but given LEOs are controlling all info so far it’ll be awhile

I’ll be honest I’ve seen your moniker but I don’t know you so I’m being sweet

But I do know some of the cop version supporters here and some are very weak conservatives and vile people in general

But I look at those who see this and go what the hell really happened and find the overcharges and lack of video strange and see scores of kindred posters

You reckon that’s a coincidence?

I sure don’t.

I guess ballistics will tell the story.

I wouldn't rely too much on that. With the timeline moving the way it is right now on FACTS I have to believe that the Ballistic Report will be tampered "evidence" by the time the Public gets it.

Waco PD has already Flip-Flopped on what happened.

I know of a few Bandidos and Cossacks that stayed home for the weekend ...

What about your group that say anything other than a cop execution is not probable?

Next will probably be a fire at the Morgue cremating the Bodies and destroying Autopsy files/computers

“Old non-news and one-sided “coverage” is all you have left.”

Interesting. Interviews with the bikers at the scene are considered one-sided coverage ....

Are you saying your bro’s are lying?

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

And in the absence of probable cause that a particular biker killed anyone, a $1M bail is excessive.
