In a response to the motion to quash, Broden called Don Carlos’ arguments “gobbledygook.”

Peterson has not set other hearings in the case, including one to consider the motion to quash the subpoena.

Guess Ol' Pete needs to rest up from setting all those $1,000,000 bonds and reading 177 identical probable cause affidavits.

I can’t find that term in Black’s Law Dictionary.

It’s a weak argument. Call it what you want, but historically, citizens rights to know do not superseded the defendants right to a fair trial. You see it all the time.

Hmmm...what’s Don Carlos hiding?

[MeganC]

The video could possibly exonerate some of the people currently in jail. It could also lend credence to the opinion that the police fired first. Makes me wonder if the Waco police are behind the attempt to hide this video.

“...the manager of the Waco Don Carlos is no longer in possession of the hard drives containing the surveillance because Waco police officials took them as part of their ongoing investigation....”

Right...those hard drives are really safe in the “state's” hands. No risk whatsoever of any of the (inconvenient -- from the state's perspective) contents being compromised, corrupted, lost or deleted.

What a waste of ink. Seems like a non-story, about a frivolous motion that goes no where. Of course the video will be entered into evidence.

Clearly, Don Carlos is looking for a windfall from Twin Peaks, and may get it, but that’s a rabbit trail that has nothing to do with the main event that has so many foamed up.

How’s Waco doing these days anyway? Seems the citizens are still pretty well mute about all the drama. Except occasionally on FR, I have not heard a breath about this story anywhere.

Also, he alleges, the manager of the Waco Don Carlos is no longer in possession of the hard drives containing the surveillance because Waco police officials took them as part of their ongoing investigation.

If that is the case, they'll have to be turned over during the discovery process.

Don Carlos is suing Twin Peaks in Dallas for loss of business as a result of the May 17 shootout.

Discovery is gonna be interesting..................

All I want is the truth.

Bret Griffin was with the Galveston county DA’s office for some time. He is known as a stand up guy. It looks like one problem here is that that Don Carlos cannot produce the video because they don’t have the hard drives. The police have them. Secondly, Don Carlos has a lawsuit against Twin Peaks and that may involve the videos. Brett may have a point that it seems a little much to threaten Don Carlos with contempt and arrest over something they don’t have.

Bret isn’t trying to protect anyone but his client.

Something is indeed odd with this whole situation. I cannot see how these people could have been held so long with such large bonds. It appears that due process clause has been thrown out the window. The amount of bail is crazy. The judge is crazy and the prosecutors are nuts IMO. Habeas Corpus? Hello!

I’m really sad and a bit pissed off to see this happen in Texas. Some of these “bikers” may be bad guys or not at all. That does not matter, what matters is that they have rights that apparently have been thrown out the window. Has this been brought to them by the same morons that didn’t have the good sense to simple pull David Koresh over while he was driving to town but instead decided to go to war? Is there something in the water there in Wacko Texas?

Are they scheduled to be accidentally erased yet?
