McLennan County's financial hit from the first Twin Peaks shootout trial was softened a bit Monday as county commissioners accepted a $645,624 state grant to ease the financial burden in dealing with fallout from the once-in-a-lifetime incident.
Commissioners approved the grant, which came from the County Essential Services program, part of the governor's criminal justice division. It marks the county's second grant from the program. McLennan County received $268,527 in October 2016, which also went to defray law enforcement expenses from the May 2015 shootout that left nine dead and more than 20 wounded.
The second grant will help cover the $572,000 in overtime costs for sheriff's deputies who provided extra security before and during the trial of Jacob Carrizal, Dallas Bandidos chapter president, which ended in a hung jury and a mistrial. Other expenses covered in the grant request include professional services, forensic testing, expert witness fees, meals and travel and large tents erected in the alley behind the courthouse.

“The second grant will help cover the $572,000 in overtime costs for sheriff’s deputies who provided extra security before and during the trial of Jacob Carrizal, Dallas Bandidos chapter president, “
I don’t understand. These ‘bikers’ are such good church-going family men why would they need all this security?
So just read the last 3 you have posted. This corruption seems like its a mirror of what is going on through out the Country, such corruption when I read this Crap I just shake my head in unbelief the innocent will never get any Justice. What makes a Man 79 years old want to continue to 2020 calender obstructing Justice when is it time to say enough. Good ole boy club I guess Truth has fallen in the Streets.
It’s always been this way. But now with internet we know what’s going on.
They didn't. It was just a scam to provide extra overtime pay for the deputies.
“fallout from the once-in-a-lifetime incident.”
Not like the other once in a lifetime incident where they participated in burning women and children?
Nice of you to chime in defending the murdering pimping drug running pedophile biker gangsters.
Indeed. Once in a lifetime events seem to happen more often in Waco than elsewhere.
