I wonder if Reyna is even bothering to call the shots these days, or if one of the assistants left in the office is making the call to drop the cases that he wouldn’t be willing to prosecute when they come up on the docket.
I can’t see Reyna agreeing to the dismissal language used.

According to prosecutors, the cases are not being dismissed because the 15 men are innocent, but because, at an average rate of only one trial every three years, the McLennan County District Attorney can only condemn a few of the many “culpable” motorcyclists to dungeons.
“While the grand jury has determined probable cause for the defendant’s arrest and prosecution exists, based on continued investigation, the state is exercising its prosecutorial discretion in dismissing this matter in order to focus its efforts and resources on co-defendants with a higher level of culpability,” Reyna wrote.
In the last two months, Waco prosecutors have dismissed charges (which may still be refiled) against 43 of the living who were indicted. Carrizal remains indicted and so do 110 others. At the same time, mostly for blatantly political reasons, prosecutors have announced they will not seek to indict 32 other suspects.
