An attorney for one of the bikers indicted in the deadly 2015 Twin Peaks shootout said it appears the "Twin Peaks dam" is starting to break with the dismissal of charges against 13 bikers Thursday.
Meanwhile, the same attorney, Brian Bouffard, said McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna only dropped the cases in a show of "moral cowardice by an elected official" to avoid adverse testimony at a scheduled Thursday hearing to disqualify his office.
Two district judges signed orders submitted to them by the DA's office Thursday morning dismissing charges against 13 bikers arrested in the May 17, 2015, Twin Peaks shootout and two recusing the McLennan County District Attorney's Office in two other biker cases.
Besides the 13 dismissals, prosecutor Michael Jarrett told the judges that Reyna also intends to formally refuse eight more cases against bikers who were arrested, but have not been indicted in the shootout that left nine dead and dozens injured.
The dismissals came hours before a hearing scheduled for Thursday afternoon at which two bikers were asking to disqualify Reyna from handling their cases on a variety of grounds.
That hearing was canceled in light of Reyna's actions.
Reyna did not return phone calls seeking comment Thursday and declined to provide the Tribune-Herald with a written statement he prepared about the dismissals.
Judge Ralph Strother, of Waco's 19th State District Court, said Thursday he plans to ask the Texas Attorney General's Office prosecutorial assistance division to take over prosecution of the case against biker Billy McRee. Reyna agreed to recuse his office in that case, while he dismissed the case against Jorge Salinas.
Salinas, a two-tour Marine combat veteran; and McRee, a mechanic, are both former members of the Cossacks motorcycle group.

Cossacks and bandidos decimated in Texas!
Which gang is he in?
;)
We know what gang you’re in - “The Copsucker gang”! You wear your jackboots very well!
Thanks for all the links
“We know what gang you’re in - “The Copsucker gang”! You wear your jackboots very well!”
I must have hit a nerve with my post! Which gang are YOU in?
No gangs just well respected groups. The NRA, formerly with Second Amendment Sisters and a number of second amendment groups. I’m just sick and tired of you accusing people you don’t even know of being associated with a gang.
“I’m just sick and tired of you accusing people you don’t even know of being associated with a gang.”
Dude, if they wear the patch of a gang they are in the gang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“The NRA, formerly with Second Amendment Sisters and a number of second amendment groups.”
How many Cossacks and Bandidos are in those organizations?????????????????????
““I’m just sick and tired of you accusing people you don’t even know of being associated with a gang.””
Dude, you don’t even know to whom I was referringI!!!!!!!
Thanks for butting in with your juvenile response!!!!!!!!
“Were you at Twin Peaks that day? If not, you can’t be absolutely sure that every single person was wearing a patch!!! “
Dude, some left their patches in their bags or trucks.
So, not all were wearing them that day.
At least as I recall.
“Were you at Twin Peaks that day? If not, you can’t be absolutely sure that every single person was wearing a patch!!! “
Dude, name the ones that were NOT members of the Cossacks or Bandidos or their support clubs that were arrested and held for bond!
I’m not the one making the accusations! You name the ones who are. Since you’re the “Copsucker” you should have access to that info. Ask one of your buddies or go look it up in your reports.
BTW, you keep calling me “Dude”. You just keep showing your ignorance - a “mama” isn’t a dude. Maybe you’re just a transvestite Copsucker do you don’t know any better....
You never hit a nerve, you just reinforce what an obtuse blockhead you are. Three friggin years and your boyfriend is going down in flames. Not ONE conviction. I REEEAly hope you pay taxes in McClennan county. You obnoxious dope.
At first, I thought it said “Thanks for all the fish”
/don’t panic
Huh.
I thought I heard a pathetic little whimper, earlier.
;)
What you fear, you hate.
What you hate, you seek to destroy.
Maybe somebody oughta man up a bit?
That’s funny.
I thought that thing lives in FL.
