>>> That was always going to be the case at grand jury. Either a police representative or the DA is, and has to be, in charge of presenting evidence to the jurors. <<<
The point is that they’ve made a Waco Police officer the jury foreman. Who’s going to disagree with the foreman’s ‘secret inside information’ as he sits at the top of the table with his badge and gun?
I know a grand jury can indict a rock for jay-walking, but this is just over-the-top blatant in what’s supposed to be a free country that prides itself on the rule of law.
For the cases that result in indictment, that also get to trial, you can bet your bottom dollar that the court will find that “a jury of peers” excludes anybody who is or is friends with a biker.
