You seem to be conceding that there may be a fair trial. Given what has happened thus far, I wouldn’t extend the benefit of the doubt to the DA, the cops, or the judges.
Nor would I. It will be a kangaroo court from the word go.
For some of the accused, I think it's the only way the DA has out. For example, the couple who watched everything from inside Don Carlos, was arrested on the same bulk complaint, spent weeks in jail, etc. It's going to be tough to stick a charge on them. The "send a message" bail is the punishment. You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride. And when the judge is in on the ride, the ride can last half a year.

That's a healthy attitude, I think, and justified by the actions already taken. I have the same one. And maybe the appellate level above this is just as bad. Texas has a reputation for tolerating a corrupt legal system.
