Biker attorney seeks to replace judges, demands immediate release of clients
Waco Tribune ^ | 5/26/15 | TOMMY WITHERSPOON

An attorney for two men arrested in the May 17 Twin Peaks shootout between rival bikers says his clients are being held illegally and is seeking to replace all McLennan County judges connected to the case.

Austin attorney Adam Reposa alleges in motions filed Tuesday that the charging documents filed against his clients, and the 168 others jailed in the chaotic melee, are legally insufficient.

He also claims that the $1 million bonds are unreasonably oppressive and that the judge who set them and the judges who, so far, have not reduced them have shown bias and should be recused.

Reposa represents Jimmy Pond and Thomas Paul Landers. He said Pond, a mechanic from Hays County, is the sole supporter of his family, which includes a disabled wife and autistic son.

Besides the recusal motion, Reposa filed an application for writ of habeas corpus, alleging a client is being held illegally and without proper cause, and a motion for emergency release so Pond can go home and take care of his family.

After the shootout, in which nine were killed and 18 wounded, Reposa said officials “commandeered” the Waco Convention Center as a makeshift holding area while they tried to sort out the magnitude of the event.

Oh yah. Uh, except for the times you have accused people of adoring criminals. Several hundred times.

And attempted to shame recovering addicts and alcoholics.

And classified a certain segment as subhumans which sets them up for "special treatment" in your fascist world.

The truth is not personal attack ...

I guess it could be if it really hurts?

Can you explain why this eyewitness wasn't arrested like the 170 others most of which clearly had nothing to do with the shootings?

Odd now everyone else is held on million dollar bail but the one person that supports a police version of events is available for comment with cover of anominity

I was good with Laz till y’all got him back in line. All he does now is just rant and rant.

It was an observation, not an attack.

That is because all you have for us is lies, straw men, and improper insinuations. Rants are all you are worth.

Accusations are if they are false, which many a time from you they palpably were.

Well she's got a heck of an arm because that ladder is easily 18 feet up and 10 or more feet over the outer wall. Why did they need to get a freakin LADDER truck if it was so easy to get to?

Good grief

People have tried to help you. One suggested a reading comprehension course. If you will share your location, I will find one for you.

Life becomes more interesting when one can understand words.

The ladder is easily six feet above the roof! But my 11 year old granddaughter can easily pitch two pounds 18 feet up. These biker dudes should switch to scooters if they can’t make that toss.

I am 68 years old and would have no trouble making the toss.

“anominity”

Since this is now your favorite word, I will put it here so you can copy/paste it in the future.

“anonymity”

One needs only to impart an initial velocity of 20 mph. No big feat.

I have reread the article. He saw the first three Cossacks shot, and said since he wasn’t armed, he got out of there.

That means there were probably others who escaped before the crime scene was secured . . .

The biker said that a Bandido had contacted Owen Reeves about the peace meeting.

Owen’s son was one of those killed.

Even if some of these guy go free, they all will have to watch their backs very carefully.

As a mother of one that was killed said ... the cops probably saved a bunch of lives.

These gangs are not going to let go of this one.

Either that or the Bandidos ‘purge’ a few members like they did in Canada.

One of the ‘dudes’ here said the article was not credible because of this statement:


The Cossack continued: “Anybody who is a Cossack knows this call was made because the Nomad called everyone and said, ‘We have an opportunity to make this right. I think we should take a risk.’ And everybody agreed.”

He said that a Nomad was one without a home club and a real biker would never refer to the leader of a gang as a Nomad.

but finding the below, it shows that the dude here is either lying or doesn’t know beans about what’s going on. It now makes perfect sense that a Nomad would be the one making the call.

“The Nomad chapter handles Bandido security and internal discipline. The chapter is made up of charter members who have been with the club for more than five years. The chapter compiles files on police forces and outlaw motorcycle gangs they consider to be enemies.”

Exactly what I had said earlier. Three killed by bikers however his story was not credible to me at all. It litterally sounded made up. His “dog” or whoever was first to fall then, bla bla bla. Sounds like he was using a seen from a nam flick and just changed the names. No credible detail, and after the first was shot its unlikely the other two stood there and got shot in the head.
