Attorneys: Waco shooting detainees could be legal liability
Killeen Daily Herald ^ | June 2, 2015 | Clay Thorp

Defense attorneys representing many of those jailed for the Twin Peaks shooting in Waco said law enforcement officials in McLennan County are overseeing an unprecedented and unlawful mass arrest of innocent bikers as more were released Monday at the behest of their attorneys.

Killeen residents Justin Nash Waddington, Ester Sandy Weaver, Walter Thomas Weaver and Zebulon Harris; Colter Bajovich and Ronald Atterbury, both of Gatesville; Daryle Walker of Harker Heights and Glenn Walker of Copperas Cove are among those in the McLennan County Jail on charges of engaging in organized crime. Each is being held on a $1 million bond.

“That was an immediate red flag,” said Josh Tetens, a defense attorney in Waco representing Roy Covey, speaking of the initial arrest of almost 200 bikers. “I think Judge Peterson said it well when he said that his sole reason for setting million-dollar bonds against so many people under the exact same charge was to ‘send a message,’ which I believe in and of itself is completely unconstitutional.”

Defense attorneys said the mass jailing of defendants has exposed McLennan County to expensive lawsuits.

I give don-o credit for posting this but the others are filling it with anti-cop photos to obfuscate the thread.

This looks like the fully innocent Boston Marathon Neighborhood sweep. Yep, all that was just normal business. Roust the homeowners under point of gun while half of the SWAT goons have you covered and the rest go in and search your home....you know, the home they had a warrant to search? House by house, street by street?

“Houston attorney Paul C. Looney and Waco attorney Brittany Lannen each claim the other is responsible for rumors spreading like wildfire among the jailed bikers, their families and friends and on social media that the bikers were being told they needed to waive their rights to sue the city of Waco or McLennan County in exchange for bond reductions.”

I like this. Holding them personally responsible, would make them think twice.

Like Dan Rather’s fake but real?

Headshake

I do not doubt that somewhere in this Waco Nuthouse there was substance to an “agreement”.

Is it Wacko Waco or is it ComDem Insanity engineered by the DOJ and BATF?

Time for Truth, end the lies and legal doublespeak.
