Waco Twin Peaks Judge Reverses Decision to Extend ‘Pick-A-Pal’ Grand Jury

One of the state district judges presiding over the Waco Twin Peaks bikers cases has reversed his decision to extend the term of a grand jury selected under the old method of selecting grand juries. The judge will now comply with a McLennan County, Texas, order that ends on July 8th, the much criticized practice of selecting “pick-a-pal” grand juries. This grand jury will likely decide the fate of some, if not all, of the 177 bikers arrested on May 17th after the Twin Peaks shootout.

Although the judges and the McLennon County district clerk approved a plan on June 11 requiring that grand juries be selected in the same way civil juries are selected, Judge Matt Johnson signed an order on June 30th extending the term of the grand jury who would hear the Twin Peaks shooting cases. The term of this grand jury was set to expire on June 30th. Judge Johnson was reported to have been one of the judges on June 11th who approved the plan to change the system in which grand jurors are selected in McLennan County, Texas.

In Clendennen’s motion (shown below), he urged that the State had gone to great lengths to argue that the district attorney’s office did not have to promptly produce discovery despite the Michael Morton Act. The State argued the investigation would take months to complete. He wrote, “In light of these claims, it is difficult to understand how the pick-a-pal grand jury would have sufficient time to carefully consider the 177 cases.” He concluded, “in light of the State’s comments at the motion to quash hearing, it appears questionable as to whether the State has actually begun presenting substantive evidence to the current pick-a-pal grand jury.”

No actual new news here, but some interesting background.

[Mr. K]

what the hell is going on here? are these people all still in jail? what about their jobs?

[don-o]

I believe all but four have been released after the initial $1,000,000 bonds were slowly lowered.

It is still a major mess.

I think the banditio and cossack unemployment fund is streched to the max. They’ll have to double their meth runs to keep it solvent.

It was decided at the meeting that, since Jews were to blame for these events, they be held legally and financially responsible for the damages incurred by the pogrom.

Nice government you have there.

[don-o]

If you want to “catch up” search the site keyword: waco and you can see what has been going on. The msm has been uninterested, for the most part.

[null and void]

That would leave a mark on anyone with half a brain.

[Robert Teesdale]

Sometimes when a target pops, a snap shot is just fun.

Maybe they can keep their wars on country roads.

[MrEdd]

You pegged her to a T.

[MrEdd]

Yep. If only those Jesus had been more understanding of the third Reich.

We see who you are and where you come from.

[Ethan Clive Osgoode]

This biker murdered a bunch of people to keep them from testifying against the Hells Angels. Bikers are nice freedom loving patriots and cops are wrong to bully them.

Stalin observed rather well, that you may not be interested in war - but war is interested in you. And in the struggle against the collectivists that is now approaching a low intensity domestic conflict, you would do well to bluntly acknowledge that real fighting is ugly, and done by hard men, and it will not be men in chinos and polo shirts that bleed, kill and die to preserve the United States.

The fathers of this country would have tread mud and blood and shit on your living room floor, had you sheltered them after a skirmish or engagement. And their disgusting language and foul odor and gross religious impulses would have only been matched by their love of each other and the brotherhood of men bonded under fire.

Would you staunch blood and hide them from the State, or turn them over to the rope and axe of their liege lord?

It is truly hard to live with the disgustingly tawdry and dangerous flavor of freedom.

Madam, be ever so careful of the enemies you paint in your own head, for the survival of your freedom and our nation may some day depend on your having contemplated carefully with reality and not comfort as your parameters.

We are your countrymen. We deserve your love before your fealty to the State. That is what being an American is about. We, the People.

We are going to need you.

Just sayin'.

[DanielRedfoot]

Seriously!

What, are they going to Mass indite the whole restaurant full of people eating lunch?

[Robert Teesdale]

This man was beaten to death by the police for being homeless and mentally ill. Cops are gentle protectors of Mayberry and citizens are wrong to fear them.



This German beat and skinned people alive and had women raped with dogs to gain confessions and intelligence. Germans are smart organized people and Jews are wrong to mistrust them.

We can play this stupid game all day long.

How about actual debate? Up for it?

[sport]

Very true. But it doesn’t faze our Fifth Column here, Nully. It goes right over their heads. Jackboot licking and worshiping is all they understand.

[Robert Teesdale]

Pity them in their chains of fear. Don't yet forget they are our countrymen.

Not yet.

[Robert Teesdale]

"Today, biker gangs still act as a sort of private militia that police can’t always control, patrolling festivals and other events." (Newsweek)

That's the idea, yes. Has to start somewhere.

The fathers of this country wouldn’t run a prostitution and meth empire, and a distribution network for the Mexican cartels. Disgusting to see that un-American Bandito trash compared to the founders.

Which is a higher crime? Pimping and drugging, or high treason against your sovereign lord?

Although Congress in 1776 declared against enlisting criminals, courts nevertheless remitted sentences of convicted felons if they joined the Continental army. Such recruits generally had been found guilty of assault and battery, petty crimes, and indebtedness, although sometimes murderers and rapists were included. (Ward, 2006).

You fight a war with the forces you have.
