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.

“...Releasing video evidence now just gives the perps an opportunity to line up their stories.”
****************************************************************************************************
Well, Waco police officials as well as ALJ and other DOJ officials & agents ALREADY have access to whatever video evidence now exists. And they have access to autopsy and ballistic test results.

So I guess the “perps” are taking advantage of this opportunity to line up their stories. But seriously, this whole thing has the smell of yet another botched and nonsensical DOJ operation to advance their agenda. I think they lost control of events from their own side and now are no doubt frantically trying to figure how the hell they can get out of their jam.

Murder, even when officially sanctioned, is not a virtuous thing. Unlike the ALJ gun-running operations, the current Obama regime officials can not count on friendlies being in Washington running interference for them for more than 19 months AT MOST. Then it will be “Katie, bar the door” and there will be hell to pay IMHO.

“Once upon a time I thought when someone is charged with a felony and bond is set it was based on a bill of particulars or otherwise known as specific charges...”

The paperwork is real. I saw copies of some of the affidavits for probable cause.

... commit or conspire to commit murder, capital murder or assault ...

That would be a neat trick from jail.

“The Mafia always had good attorneys too”

The mafia wished they had it so good.

All the riding clubs have to pay dues to their local ‘confederation’.

Said dues go right into the pocket of the ‘dominant’ gang in the region.

Well, some of it goes to pay spammers and fund toy runs.

That’s not the particulars. That is what is processed to issue arrest warrants.

Conspiracy to commit murder? That’s the general description of alleged criminal offence.

I am talking about specific actions. Like
X approached Y threatened Y with a knife and was attempting to stab Y or subject after getting punched, pulled out a pistol and pointed it at a undercover L.E.O.

I wonder if undercovers knew there was going to be a rumble based on a double cross of one gang by the other gang. And decided to just keep quiet lest they be outed.

Assuming they didn’t actually egg the damned thing on.

One thing, you can bet gang C is very angry at gang B right now and it is not likely to let things rest.

Amen. When the truth comes out, the current crop of boot lickers is going to go into hiding out of shame.

Nah. Check out the born on dates for some of them. They will reincarnate under a new identity.

It’s a conspiracy, I tell you, it’s a conspiracy.

At least that is what Alex Jones says. Here is a link but it looks like he has moved on from the Waco shooting.

It’s what your federal J.B.T. do when they aren’t shooting people in the head, smuggling guns to Mexican cartels or lying to Congress and the courts. Busy little beavers...
