Carrizal’s Defense Won Today
Houston lawyer Casie Gotro shook a lime tree last Friday. Today she made margaritas.
She was late to court as she often is. Her client, Dallas Bandido Jake Carrizal, sat at the lawyer’s table all alone. One of the prosecutors, Michael Jarrett, glanced at his watch and smirked. The judge, Matt Johnson, glared at an invisible spot over the courtroom door. When she arrived six minutes late she was admonished by Johnson. She promised not to do it again.
Five prosecutors are trying the case. The other side is just Casie and her entourage. Throughout the trial the bailiff, an authoritarian little man named Jack Campbell, has been threatening to hang people who have phones in their pockets in suspended cages so the locals can throw cow pies at them. The other day he actually made Tommy Witherspoon, the Waco Tribune-Herald reporter who tweets live from court (@TSpoonFeed) turn off his tablet because his key strokes made barely audible clicks. Not a single cell phone has gone off since then until today when one played a concert in the brief case of one of Gotro’s legal assistants. The phone was buried deep in the satchel. It went on forever. The bailiff just glared. Johnson glared. Everybody else just smirked.
Gotro Comes Through
Then all sins were forgiven as Gotro exposed the entire case against her client, Dallas Bandido Jake Carrizal as the house of cards it has always been. Her victim was Doug Pearson, the Aurora, Colorado “motorcycle gang expert.” She invited him to describe the evidence against her client last Friday. It looked like a blunder then. It looked like a stroke of genius today.
“The fact that she asked the witness a question to which she didn’t know the answer is on her.” Jarrett gloated. So Gotro stuck with that line of questioning and the fact that poor, evasive, laconic, dogmatic Pearson presented the prosecution’s case and had to defend it – not Jarrett, not Reyna, not Amanda Dillon but poor, stupid Pearson, was on Casie Gotro, too.
The prosecution’s case will be largely based on information gathered from three cell phones belonging to Bandidos Marshall Mitchell, Ray Allen and Carrizal. The defense, which includes not just Gotro but other friends of Carrizal, has extensively prepared for this trial for months. Part of the strategy in this case will be to make sure the jury hears Carrizal’s defense as many times as possible. Pearson, the prosecution’s third witness, unwittingly became a means to that end.
By about 11 a.m. Gotro was dismembering the state’s case in chief in front of the jury and there wasn’t a thing the prosecutors could do about it.
Texas Bottom Rocker
As stated by the government’s own witness, The Bandidos and the Cossacks Motorcycle Clubs agreed to work out there differences in July 2014. The Cossacks vice-president announced on his Facebook page that the Bandits did not object to the Cossacks putting on a Texas bottom rocker. But, Pearson still insisted that the Twin Peaks Ambush was a mutually agreed upon affray over that Texas bottom rocker.
In December 2014, the same Cossack vice-president sent Bandido Marshall Mitchell a text message saying, “So the truce is over.”
Mitchell texted back, “What are you talking about?”
Pearson insisted that meant that Mitchell was telling the Cossacks they could no longer wear a Texas bottom rocker.
Fold Teeth
In the months that followed, the Cossacks agreed to smash the Bandidos on sight, to “fold teeth” and that all Bandidos “must go to the hospital.” The Cossacks put a $500 bounty on Bandidos patches.
In May 2015, the Texas Highway Patrol thought that the threat of assaults by Cossacks of other motorcyclists on Interstate 35 had become so dangerous that Increased highways patrols. The Bandidos were self reliant. They warned members traveling along that highway to the meeting in Waco warned one another to bring guns and leave their women at home. The prosecution will argue that these messages will prove the Bandidos were to blame for the violence at the Twin Peaks.
The Cossacks and the members of their support clubs arrived en masse about 11 a.m. They took all the parking spaces, parked at the front of each space and took all the seats reserved for the Confederation Of Clubs & Independents meeting. When a woman named Sandra Lynch, who had reserved the Twin Peaks for the, tried to put out orange cones, 15 Cossacks surrounded her and called her a “fucking cunt.” Law enforcement witnessed the encounter and did nothing.
Hello
One of the first Bandidos to arrive was Marshall Mitchell. He parked his motorcycle, walked straight into a pack of Cossacks including Cossack Nomad Owen Reeves, stuck out his hand to shake with Reeves, then went inside the restaurant without incident.
There were more police cameras at the scene than has been previously reported. One camera captured the license plate numbers and the faces of the small pack of Dallas Bandidos as they exited the interstate into the Texas Marketplace shopping center.
Before the pack of Bandidos, led by Carrizal, arrived at the Twin Peaks, one Cossack sent out a text message with a picture of a bear trap and the message “trap being set.”
Pearson, who has been a consulting expert on the case for two years still doesn’t know who threw the first punch.
Gotro’s courtroom style is eccentric, She throws her body and her soul into her work like an abstract expressionist. She flicks her hair, cocks her hips, starts and stops and surveys the courtroom like a meerkat sentry on guard against cobras and eagles. Her style of cross examination is unique. She asks open-ended questions. Sometimes, like last Friday, she obviously doesn’t know what the witness will reply. But she is stubborn and brave. And today she was very shrewd.
There will be much more of today’s testimony in the book.
From your link:
“all we’ve heard is an eye witness named Letty Jones, a former cook at Twin Peaks who now suffers from PTSD after hiding in the walk-in cooler during the gunfight. She didn’t see anything other than a dead man on a stretcher who, when she saw his arm fall limp, appeared dead.”
Now compare that to what the Waco Trib reported she testified to!
Get your head out of the sand. L is all propaganda.
“You cannot and so you will not. “
I can and I did!
“You cannot and so you will not. “
See below how L lies!
From your admired L: “She didn’t see anything other than a dead man on a stretcher”
From the Waco Trib:
“Jones said she saw two bikers run by the patio window with guns drawn, firing toward bikers in the parking lot.
...
Becoming emotional, Jones described seeing slain bikers, injured ones and a cache of weapons and ammunition lying on the parking lot.”
Now that you see how L lies, can you give him any credibility? I can not.
Waco Trib: “At the time, Carrizal was vice president of the Bandidos Dallas chapter but has since been elected president.”
Atta boy, Carrizal! Murder was the last requirement to be satisfied for your move up the ladder!
hmmmm. Now ask yourself, when did the trial begin?
"I sat in court all week, Mon-Fri. So far, all we’ve heard is an eye witness named Letty Jones, a former cook at Twin Peaks who now suffers from PTSD after hiding in the walk-in cooler during the gunfight. She didn’t see anything other than a dead man on a stretcher who, when she saw his arm fall limp, appeared dead."
“I can smell it from here...”
Is that your fetish?
If what the one cook was recorded to have said differs from a Waco Tribune article had included mean little to nothing in this instance. It's not as if this 'Legendary' fellow was pretending to be supplying full trial transcript. Right about there, you fail, Princess. You fail because you're too stupid --for words-- and about words, and what they all mean.
I had thanked the man because I had copied portions of what he wrote, pasting those into comment, on this forum. It was polite acknowledgement. There's two words there that are as strangers to you, Princess. You say;
In vanity of your own imagination you'd like to think so, but truth is quite different than you're own personal opinion.
You posted series of lame attempts that you claim to have somehow proved that anything specific I'd quoted from the man was a lie.
You failed.
We've all seen how you are, Princess. It is yourself who has no credibility on this forum, in relation to this subject matter.
Projecting onto others what you are guilty of (you have a long list of priors offenses in the distortion/propaganda department) hurts your own case far more than harms others, including now 'Radio Legendary'...
I'd never heard of that guy until coming across links, here on FR. It is obvious he has his own perspective, supplying opinion along with factual information. In this, I trust him a whole lot more than I will ever trust you, Puddles. I've seen you in action, up close and personal. I remember when not too long ago, you couldn't even count to "two" (Waco PD inflicted gunshot wounds) much less all the way to four. I'm still wondering about how many those were wounded, hospitalized, and who did not die were shot by law enforcement.
Is that your fetish?
No, it must be one of yours. The smell was emanating from you. You reek of "it". Go brush your teeth.
One LONGHORN post but you ducked the facts I PRESENTED!
“. I’m still wondering about how many those were wounded, hospitalized, and who did not die were shot by law enforcement”
How many more would have died if not for LE?
Innocent women and children? Duh. You are sick dude.
According to earliest reports, going by what the Waco PD had released to news media, law enforcement (those in uniforms, anyhow) did not begin shooting until they heard over their radios, one of the officers say "they're shooting at us from the ground!"
There was audio recording released that contained that very thing. I heard it myself, though since it's been more than two years ago, and literally dozens of Waco Tribune articles regarding the incident later, do not have in mind which exact articles that information had been published within.
The police did not open fire to "save women and children".
Whether or not anyone was actually shooting at the police at all, there is still doubt.
It could simply have been a mistaken perception on part of one of the officers that led to one of them saying that. After that, then Katy bar the door, here it comes.
Nice excerpt and twisting of my post. Sick.
Princess, Princess, Princess -- why be so dumb?
I "ducked" no facts (though speaking of which, it is you who reliably changes the subject, or else runs off and hides when facts go against you, so what wtH do you have to talk about here, anyhow?).
As I've already explained to you once---
You quoted from a newspaper article. The writer was speaking of various factoids that he had seen and heard while he was within the courthouse, for which he supplied his own impressions. I'm able to sift the impressions from the facts, and am able to test the facts, to some degree. Why you would single out testimony of this one witness regarding her being traumatized by the event, I suppose can be chalked up to your own desperation to prove witnesses in any way against law enforcement/prosecutorial narratives somehow wrong, thus impeach everything they may have to offer.
Additionally, what was testified to by that one witness within the Carrizal trial could have been a great deal more limited than what had earlier found it's way into newspaper accounts, including the witness herself providing limited scope of answer to a particular question, posed to herself in a particular way...
What the source I had copy/pasted from wrote was clearly not intended to be blow-by-blow court transcript for every single statement that was made by anyone, within the trial. But still, as for what facts may be gleaned even from that source, being as the man was physically present in the courtroom have far greater value than your here efforts to malign any and everyone who calls into question law enforcement, and McLennan County DA's Office version(s) of what had occurred leading up to, and has occurred after time when the last body hit the ground.
I twisted nothing, but added other material that you know to be true. Sorry if that craters you're preferred narrative that included appeal to "women and children".
> As for "excerpting" another person's comments, coupled with "twisting" it up, there are more than few here that can testify that is among your own specialties, Princess.
I'm more an untangle-er of tangled up, knotty "things" including some things you've tangled up through selective excerpting that regularly ignores all else that has been said, then replied to, then again that reply answered, etc. In the back and forth you continually dodge and weave AND "excerpt and twist" anything you can lay your hands on, often then adding braying jackass ROTFLMAO noises.
In fact, attempting to have conversation with yourself on this forum, specially in regards to this subject matter is quite maddening for those very reasons, as more than one person here could also attest.
I'm here to help you see the light in these matters, Princess. Imagine all the money you're saving on clinical therapy sessions. You could thank me, you know. That wouldn't cost you anything cash out-of-hand-wise.
“Sorry if that craters you’re preferred narrative that included appeal to “women and children”.”
If it was the preferred narrative it would have been in the first paragraph, dummy.
” As for “excerpting” another person’s comments, coupled with “twisting” it up, there are more than few here that can testify that is among your own specialties, Princess.”
Well, then post it!
“I “ducked” no facts “
You ducked the facts that bikers there say the police acted professionally and saved lives.
“The police did not open fire to “save women and children”. “
LOL! I NEVER said that. Your excerpt and quotes are infantile.
Question.
If the police were not there, would more have died?
“Whether or not anyone was actually shooting at the police at all, there is still doubt.”
So what?
