That's "My Cousin Vinny 101."

A new motion filed in McLennan County claims that McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna withheld evidence during the Twin Peaks' trial for Christopher Jacob Carrizal.
During a criminal trial, both the prosecution and the defense are required to release all evidence, and interviews – this process is called discovery.
The motion asks that during the next trial with Burton George Bergman, that the court determine if the prosecution withheld evidence and, if so, how much it withheld.
The claim said that Burton George Bergman, a biker accused in the Twin Peaks shootout, had recordings with the Texas Attorney General's liaison to the DA office, Christopher Lindsey.
Casie Gotro, the attorney for Christopher Jacob Carrizal, the biker whose trial ended in a mistrial in November, told Central Texas News Now over the phone that she was the one who spoke with Lindsey and recorded him making those allegations.
She said she released the recording to Bergman's attorney, Clint Broden, to make sure that "justice is done."
The motion said Lindsey is heard on the recordings saying the "McLennan County District Attorney's office is engaging in 'double dealing,' and 'hiding things,' that both the prosecution and the defense are supposed to know about. The motion said that in the recording Lindsey said Reyna "told them to 'hang onto evidence' that a Texas Ranger fully believed was covered by a judge's Twin Peaks' discovery order."

The prosecution appears to be following in the footsteps of Mike Nifong.
This has been corrupted from the beginning. As far as I’ve seen, everyone from the cops (who did almost all of the shooting and killing), to the the prosecutors, and judge have done one bad thing after another. They themselves are the ones that should be on trial. The millions spent for tainted trials and convictions will be overturned. The truth is probably buried under so many lies and incompetence that it will never come out.
Many killed in what seemed to be an execution.
I could be very wrong, but there were recreational gangs there too, along with bad characters.
Seemed like a shooting gallery for police.
I don’t live thereabouts or even close so I don’t know much about the context.
I would be like a Southerner saying Gotti’s favorite lounge was just a place for a hundred Italians to chat about the weather.
Then again, imagine cops opening fire on the Bloods or Latin Kings like this?
Yet again?
Somebody needs to take an ethics refresher course....
Mike Nifong and Andrew Weissmann (who is the “bulldog” going after President Trump under Muller).
Oh wait....
Well at least this time the government forces didn’t ask Wesley Clark to bring in tanks and incinerate the place.
I thought only the prosecution was "required" to divulge said info to the defense, not a two way street.
That's "My Cousin Vinny 101."
That was clear the first week.
You are correct. Only the prosecution has this duty.
The cops, DA and judge should be put in cells with the Bandidos. They deserve each other.
Never seen anything like this happen before.

two motorcycle gangs get together and it’s a total love fest.
IBTG.
Hopefully Weissmann will follow Nifong’s footsteps to the Big House.
Just wait, it's still early in the process. This tactic is pulled out when they pass the two minute warning and have not timeouts. Patience grasshopper patience.
Thanks
Well a couple of posters are going to jump through their butts to justify this.
Thanks for the post.
And there are still idiots who wet themselves when a moped goes by who think all this crap is AOK because them “dirty bikers gotta be guilty as sin”....
