When do the lawsuits start?
“Jim Parks: More than 100 have filed civil rights cases in U.S. District Court at Austin, for precisely that reason. - El Legendario, reporting from 3.5 miles east of Resume Speed, Texas”
More than 100 bikers, including 11 whose cases were dismissed Thursday, have civil suits pending against the district attorney's office and the Waco police department claiming that they were wrongfully arrested.
A federal judge in Austin had stayed the cases pending the outcome of their criminal cases. Dallas attorney Don Tittle, whose firm is representing 122 bikers' civil cases, said he hopes the dismissals mean "that there's no longer any impediment" to proceeding in civil court.
