If you ask Paul Looney, a Houston defense attorney, about the Twin Peaks biker case, he’ll tell you there’s one person who knows more about it than anyone else alive: his trial-preparation specialist, Roxanne Avery. An entire wall of her home office in Norman, Okla., is covered with wallet-size mug shots of the nearly 200 bikers arrested, as well as photographs of the nine men who died that day, seven years ago, after a violent brawl in a Waco parking lot. Each picture is layered with Post-it Notes and details about the subjects: ages, road names (Cheech, Chain, Drama, Sidetrack, Saint, Mad Dog, Pee Paw, Bubba, Bubba Earl, Bashful, Yogi, Reno, Creeper, Grumpy Dan), club affiliations, ranks, descriptions of injuries (“Bullet entered neck, partially exited”; “Paralyzed from the waist down”; “DEAD”) and any other pertinent information (“I met him March 2018”; “9mm Glock”; “U.S. Army — 2 tours Iraq”; “Convicted felon”; “Shot dog?”; “Did not see anything”; “Graduate Baylor University w/ English degree”). Point to a random photograph, and Avery will generally be able to squint and tell you something about the biker in question.
“There’s a rumor that he killed somebody,” she said one morning two years ago, tapping a face. “I don’t think it’s true. I know these guys.” She wore a large black onyx ring and brilliant cherry red lipstick; one of her Chihuahuas, Bonnie, padded by in a white dress with a red bow. Moving to a large computer monitor, Avery began to click through crime-scene photographs, many of them graphic close-ups of dead bodies. “So he’s got a gunshot wound that you see is in his face and his eye,” she noted, pausing at a particularly grisly image. “The other one entered through his back and exited out.”

Thanks.
An utter LE fiasco.
Someone gets killed...
Arrest everyone in sight and charge them all with murder...
Unable to prove anything...
Ruin a bunch of people’s lives...
Did the Cops cause the biker gangs to shoot at each other?
Did any case actually go to trial where full discovery would have to be admitted into evidence?
If not then that tells you LE and the prosecutor didn’t want that to be revealed. I support the police but I remember this case and it smell rotten from the beginning. I remember the prosecutor was fully corrupt. Abel Reyna?
In before all the stupid sh!t starts.
IBTG
Forget it, Jake. It’s Waco.
I still wanna know why if you want to have a motorcycle club that wears your own patch and rocker, why you have to have permission and an agreement with the biggest 1% gang in the area.
If you don’t everyone says there will be “trouble”.
It was a biker fiasco. They lit off a gang shootout and the Texas cops put an immediate hard end to it... pronto.
Nice church people don’t need outlaw wars on the mall parking lot when they wanna get lunch after church on a Sunday morning.
People complained about the Bonnie and Clyde ambush too.
My only complaint is that Antifa and BLM don’t get the same treatment when they start burning and killing.
The reason they all got booked is that they were all involved, and everyone played the “didn’t see nothing” game.
Idiots.
Yeah, still waiting for a legitimate conviction here...
Mr. Little Red Boots ought to know what happened....but he ain’t telling.....
177 arrests with no convictions after 7 years is an LE fiasco.
No, that is an overwhelmed system, money, and a judge that wants it to all go away. That combined with small town politics.
The scrotes started shooting, the cops finished it. If it was a LE fisaco, some cops woulda been charged. That was a ‘stay outta Waco” message.
This really reminds me of the J6 situation. I guess it will take NYT seven years or more to tell the truth about that.
Never released ballistics. Rumor is most were killed by 5.56
Where’s the timeline of all of the releases of the bullets?
With assignment in each instance to a shooter and shootee?
Sounds like 1/6 doesn’t it?
