Twin Peaks? Care to elaborate for those not following? Thanks
The silence is deafening. It is also interesting that not a single formal charge has been brought.
Over 170 people have had their lives ruined. Totally destroyed. Most of them are clearly not guilty of any crime other than being at Twin Peaks at the wrong time.
How long can they keep the lid on this? Headshake.
The civil suit was dismissed? I didn’t see any coverage on that at all.
And IBTG, of course.
Fairly pricey legal defense - $16,000. The case was filed on May 29, and Broden/Clendennen moved to dismiss on July 2nd, before an answer was received by any defendant. The only defendant action on the docket is notice of appearance and motion to extend time to file answer, although it's a safe bet that defendants were working on an answer. The county's answer was due on July 7th.
Note too, the county has to pony up 50 grand/year before insurance kicks in, so whatever case it makes the payments on is irrelevant, if/when the floodgates open.
That the commissioners are nervous about these arrests says that there is something different about these arrests. The city of Waco logs around 6,000 arrests per year, most for property crime, burglary and larceny theft, 500 or so for violent crimes.
Here’s hoping this bankrupts this little berg.
Love to see the bikers gain ownership of say the police dept, city hall, and maybe all the city parks in a legal settlement.
Maybe put a few authorities in jail for murder as the cops killed many.
County Judge Scott Felton said it’s not uncommon for municipalities and county governments to be sued, and county leaders are aware of that as they handle budget requests.
“Many of them have no basis, but you still have to defend yourself in them,” Felton said. “You still have to show up and be counted.”
I’m curious. Where would these civil suits be heard?
