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.

My source for what Nimrod?
“Looks like the shyster is going for option 3.”
Well, if the lawyer doesn’t ask for these things, his clients won’t get them.
He just has to do it with a straight face. That is the hard part.
What’s the worst the Judge will do, say No?
Are you top or bottom on 29? Or do you take turns?
If you are here posting on Free Republic
and you think that it is OK for the police
to be jury, judge, and executioner,
then Jim needs to kick your ass to the curb.
27.
Amen. When the truth comes out, the current crop of boot lickers is going to go into hiding out of shame.
Then let the prosecutor offer up specific evidence against specific individuals before he asks for and gets $1,000,000.00 bail against every single individual in the parking lot
You know, kind of the old fashioned way like the Constitution requires.
I’m funny that way. You should be too.

Nice strawman bub...keep trying.
Citing police sources in Waco, Cook says he understands the shootout started because a smaller gang called the Cossacks — backed by the Angels — challenged the Bandidos for control of Texas...“My perception is that the Cossacks have been flirting, if you will, with Hell’s Angles,” Cook said. “If I’m a Bandido, my immediate reaction is: ‘These guys are going to try to make a move and bring an international gang into our state, which is going to cause a war.'”
Don’t know him. Since we’ve devolved to ad hominem, are you an a-hole everywhere, or just here?
The cops are the ones holding the AR-15s. If the video evidence supported the laughable police version, we’d have seen it. But you don’t care, your boot licking supersedes any other concept.
So the tea partiers aren't going to soften their normal activities of running prostitutes and methamphetamine, even during events like the Annual Toy Run?
I don’t like police massacres supported by jack-boot licking LE groupies.
Yep...there's a bail reduction hearing set for Junee 5th which may or may not be able to hear all the cases.
“Did people die, or not”
***********************************************
Yes, of course many NON cops died. As far as I know, not a single member of local law enforcement suffered so much as a scratch or had their boots scuffed. Not had the on-site DOJ, FBI and ATF officials dirtied their clothes. Perhaps the only thing they had that needed cleaning were the weapons they used to open fire on the crowd.
As far as I know no investigations of the incident in Waco have been concluded to any degree at this time, therefore you are condemning the police in this matter with zero facts to support your assumptions.
I say let the investigations into this matter conclude before becoming the impromptu judge, and jury on the matter.
How you arrived at that from what I posted makes you exceptionally dense. Kick yourself to the curb.
A defense lawyer may as well shoot for the moon. sometimes they actually manage to hit it.
