McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna should be disqualified from prosecuting the Twin Peaks cases because he usurped police authority by charging the bikers en masse, he has a financial interest in the outcome and he hopes the notoriety will springboard him into state office, an attorney for one of the bikers argued Tuesday.
In a brief hearing Tuesday, Dallas attorney Clint Broden sought to recuse 54th State District Judge Matt Johnson from presiding over a hearing in which he will seek to disqualify Reyna and his office from handling the case of former biker Burton George Bergman.
Johnson declined to voluntarily step down from hearing the disqualification motion against Reyna, so retired State District Judge Joe Carroll, of Bell County, was appointed to hear the motion to recuse Johnson.

The hell you ain't, and to that you add ad hominem.
The only conviction I've ever had was of the Lord. Clean record, here.
And unlike you- I am an honest man.
It's stunning how blind you are to your very own self!
Is it dementia setting in? A bit of that added to being your usual everyday asshole self?
Saying she did not want to testify, the girl, now 17, forced prosecutor Gabrielle Massey to coax incriminating testimony from her that she answered mostly in almost inaudible one-word responses after long pauses. Through a steady stream of tears, the girl told jurors Jose Isreal Ramos regularly sexually assaulted her from 2010 to 2013.
Want a list of police officers who have been convicted of sex crimes (plus a couple who killed themselves rather than face prosecution)?
Just ask! I can supply a list of more than a few from right in Texas -- even not too far from Waco (and even from within ranks of "former" officers of Waco PD/McLennan County Sheriff's) although it would take some doing to dig for the info AGAIN.
Seems you are leaving out mention of pedophiles (and other sex offenders -- when they happen to be law enforcement officers and/or employees of LE agencies).
WHat's that you say, Princess? You say that you "do not support" them whenever they are named, identified and singled out?
Well guess what? When we have the names of the bikers alleged to have images of sexual nature of underage persons --- and that is proven --- none here I can think of will "support" or defend them.
You too, much as Strac6 are a HYPOCRITE, but possibly too damned stupid to realize it!
He "declined" but was obviously over-ruled.
This is coming from Tommy Witherspoon (who is quite friendly to LE and "establishment" types) reporting facts too.
So here again, Strac6 right out of the gate spews the same trollish garbage.
To hell with that guy. He should be banned for attacking freepers. With that one and Princess weighing in, productive conversation regarding this particular subject matter is impossible. The pair of them not worthy to breath the same air as free Americans.
Could you name those, individually, for us?
So until the names are revealed you still support the pedophiles. Well put.
“To hell with that guy. He should be banned for attacking freepers. ”
LOL. His attacks are mild compared to what I have endured from the gangsterbots here!
Interesting. Former officer going to trial but you are proud when a gangster goes free and is awarded the portion of gang presided for killing a member of a rival gang.
I am not the one here siding with criminals, dude. It is you!
“Want a list of police officers who have been convicted of sex crimesÇ
INTERESTING. Why don’t you defend them against the corrupt me and prosecutors that sent them to jail?
You can’t have it both ways.
Thanks for the information
“That case is not this case,” Burks said. “That hearing is not this hearing.”
Then what's up with 155 identical, fill-in-the-blank-with-a-name indictments?
It's too late to now attempt to be differentiating between defendants, unless what we're hearing is the sound of confession coming from somewhere among the DA's Office that there should have been more of that from the beginning?
Burk was most likely not deliberately telegraphing that but it came through the line clear enough. Burk wants different sets of rules to apply depending upon what's most favorable to winning convictions. What the HELL happened to officers of the court being duty-bound to find and state [speak] truth?
The lack of differentiation being among defendants on the part of McLennan County DA's Office is very much the largest part of the issue at hand. There was not distinction and differentiation made between the numerous defendants -- but now prosecutor Burk want there to be??????????????????????????????
The laws are not on the books to "over-charge" and over-indict potential defendants in order to force some of them to agree to some lesser charge in exchange for cooperation. It's obvious enough that type of things in play. It comes out from the one on this thread calling himself a lawyer. That jackass thinks it's OK to twist the law into corkscrew shape (like the tails of swine but even twistier, come to think of it!)
As for difference among defendants in relationship to Reyna and Company, other than where there is element of pending civil suit (which results in persons named as defendants such as DA Reyna having personal financial interest in the outcome of the criminal trials) there is no other difference, other than what name was put in the cookie-cutter identical, template-form indictments.
Chapter 71 reads as enhancement statute anyhow, rather than primary charging document suitable for near-entirely indiscriminate mass arrests of parties having played distinctly differing roles (some as victims, some as perpetrators, others not fully one or the other). p> During course of the Carrizal trial (that ended in mistrial) Amanda Dillon also portrayed some number of the identically indicted as having been "peaceable". According to her, everything was (figuratively speaking) just peachy until the Bandidos from Dallas arrived.
The prosecutors play both sides of the fences and end up contradicting themselves. Am I the only who notices? (I doubt it). But the real question is -- how long (and how much) will the DA's Office be able to get away with the apparent contradictions?
I'm not go to hold my breath until 8th of December thinking Broden has this latest consolidated motion in the bag already (once in court almost anything can happen in regard to judgements) but whichever way it goes -- Judge Johnson should have voluntarily recused himself from this one, too for the same blasted reasons he was eventually brought to "seeing the light" and recused himself from presiding over the Clendennen case.
I get the impression Tommy Witherspoon understands that part of things well enough -- which (I assume) is why he wrote this latest article (that you posted here to open this FR thread) in the first place.
The corrupt you? Was that a confession, a Freudian slip?
AND
Defend WHO? Defend the police officers that are accused, and sometimes found guilty of sex crimes? For those, there are some NAMES. In regards to those whom Waco PD seized cellphones from after the Twin Peaks incident we have no names. Not yet. Just as a few LEO's being guilty of some foul crime, or crimes does not serve to make all LEO's equally guilty of those same crimes, not all the "bikers" are as equally guilty for what was found on one (or two?) cellphones. Can you get that much through your head? That much was spelled out for you when this information first came to light more than a year ago. Obviously, you're just trolling the forum, but are now getting tangled up your own posturing/posing bullshitting.
For the second time on this thread (maybe you'll get it this time, but i doubt it!) when those names come to light, and the evidence examined by a jury, if it's anything like Waco PD "whoopsie" released data for, and a biker or two is found guilty, I seriously doubt any here would defend them. I know I would not -- much like you, yourself do not defend police officers when they do much of the same type of thing.
Do you have anything to say that's not sick "projection"? It's yourself who has long been trying to have things both ways.
Speaking of which -- IF there are among the 154 defendants an individual, or individuals who were guilty of crime of possessing "child-porn" -- why have those not been charged for that crime and brought to trial?
Did the DA's Office allow child 'molesters' to walk free in exchange for them giving info that would help the DA's Office win convictions against yet other persons?
You are a f'n LIAR.
I'm not "siding with criminals". I've explained in painstaking detail what I was siding with -- which has always been those defendants who appear to me, and to many others also (including lawyers, some prosecutors and at least one former State Judge) to not be guilty of "criminal conspiracy".
If I was "siding with criminals" I could as well be siding with Reyna and Company in their own blatant disregard for law, and ethics, or else "be siding with" LEO's when some of them do more than merely overstep boundaries, and fail to follow guidelines and go fully into engaging in out-and-out crimes (including even -- murder).
I called him out for quite possibly being FedGov operative. He turned to calling me a pedophile and worse. Anything he could make up as insult -- that's right where he'd always go. So he got called an asshole for being one. Just like you.
So spare us the martyr act, Princess. The people who have grown to hate your lying guts are not "gangsterbots". They can't stand you ---BECAUSE OF YOU!
Everyday, you are a full 360° ass-vent orifice.
You and Strac6 are peas of the same pod.
I've not seen anything you couldn't twist into something yet else.
What of those among the defendants who are not pedophiles, Princess? Should they be falsely accused of things others are guilty of? We don't like it when that's done to LE officers, now do we?
Why does everything have to be spelled out specifically for you?
Are you truly that stupid - or is it just an act? (It's hard for me to believe anyone could be as dim-witted as you seem to be). How much longer must I keep rubbing your your nose in it until you realize that it's your own pile of poo-poo in the middle of the floor, and it stinks? You're way beyond beginning to remind me of a seriously worthless & dumb dog.
Did a motorcycle scare you when you were young?
Do something useful...
Is it true you were the model for the Village People character in black leather?
Not all are criminals, but when attacking all aspects of LE, they are choosing to support the murdering, drug-dealing motorcycle gang scum criminals.
Why are you so supporting of this gay Black Leather thing?
“Standing up for the oppressive, do whatever we want to the little people,”
So now, in your mind, drug-dealing motorcycle gang scum are the “oppressed little people....”
How long has reality been a problem for you.
Think about it. Those predominantly gay Harley-riding black leather freaks are really amateurs. You must reserve your real love for the poor little oppressed Islamic jihadists.
Dude, the are gang members and condone the actions of their fellow pedophiles.
