He made a precise legal claim, "arrests without individual probable cause."
Yes, he did make a claim, as did lawyers representing Charles Manson, Bernie Maddof and this week’s San Francisco murderer....
Luckily, we don’t let people out of jail just on their lawyer’s claims. They have to find a judge to agree.
There are 3742 judges in Texas. If he was right, you might think he could find just one judge to agree with him.
Who says the State has failed to meet their burden? Some Dallas lawyer, every defense lawyer who ever made a closing argument to a jury, every person in prison, etc.
Do I think $1 mil is excessive? absolutely. Has any judge agreed? No.
Old Chinese laundry and courthouse saying: “No tickie? No washie!” It means regardless of your arguments, no court order? No relief.
P.S. I have no idea why the def’s lawyer’s aren’t making unreasonable bail arguments themselves. Unless they have evidence certain defs were actual trigger pullers, the rest, at most are $10,000 to $20,000 bail matters. Even if the State is trying make a (stupid) case for “murder by acting in consort,” $1,000,000 for most is BS.
Time to go to Da Kingfish Court.
