Over at Aging rebel, this tidbit. I haven;t found the filing in the civil case, or even, for sure, the correct case number or court ID.

... Clifford Pierce, a Cossacks Motorcycle Club prospect who reportedly sparked the massacre when he tried to stop a Bandidos club officer from parking, was not indicted.

Pierce's name appears in a sworn statement made November 3 in Houston by an attorney named James C. Winton. Winton represents the Waco Twin Peaks franchise in the five lawsuits that have been filed against that restaurant. In that statement, Winton alleges that "Pierce was not arrested and has simply vanished into thin air - his apartment cleaned out and never seen again. Was this gentleman who was so close to the spark, perhaps even the spark himself, an undercover police officer? Was he a confidential informant? Is he now in a witness protection program? No one knows."

Well, who knows what all this is going on behind the scenes? I said at the get go that this thing was like blood in the water to a hungry shark / lawyer.

I wonder how many took clients on contingency?

Found the source document ... Defendant Motion to Vacate Trial Setting ..., in the Rodriguez v. Chalak Mitra (Twin Peaks) case in the 192nd District Court, Case No. DC-15-07599.

Winton's statement starts on page 79, and the statement relating to Pierce is on page 82. The remarks relating to Pierce are derived from press accounts.

Might be helpful for searching in the future, the bulk of the filing, page wise, aims to correct "Chalak Mitra Group, LLC" to "Chalak Mitras Group, LLC."

Those seem like valid questions. Oh, and where are the ballistic reports?...
