I wonder if Reyna will move for sanctions against the defense lawyers, as being in violation of the gag order. That would be interesting, provided what they discuss in their presser is a mirror image of Reyna's presser. That is, assuming all they do is generally proclaim innocence and announce the filing of civil rights claims against the state, that would be a mirror image of Reyna announcing indictments. No details of investigation discussed, no claims specific to any of those charged beyond "there is no evidence that the accused committed the crime."

I haven't found the civil suit on behalf of Vensel, but it must be out there. Three of the six are on the Bandidos side, the other three are on the Cossacks side, for what that is worth.

Interesting to me is the report that 30 lawyers are participating. Could they be "sending a message" that Reyna can expect some "cookie cutter" action coming back at him?

One lawyer drafts one motion and all 30 fill in the header for their own clients and file it.

Found the complaint on Vensel's behalf. It's linked from Twin Peaks Civil Rights Lawsuits Filed - Don Tittle Law - Nov. 18

The page cites a handful of Federal cases on the issue of Fourth Amendment requirement for particularlity of suspicion, charges and accusations.

Our office has filed the first group of civil rights lawsuits related to the Twin Peak incident. More filings are expected in the future.
