About recent 106 grand jury indictments>

“Prosecutors say they’ll seek plea agreements on all the cases but that some of them could be forced to trial.”

Ahh, thanks for that. That article has a link to the indictment.

"Cookie cutter," and the DA has an uphill battle proving what he alleges. Very thin on facts, loaded with "or" conjunctions. Each person charged is charged with intentionally, knowingly and recklessly causing the death of one or the other of the dead by shooting and/or stabbing and/or cutting and/or striking, and intentionally, knowingly and recklessly causing bodily injury to one or another of the injured by shooting and/or stabbing and/or cutting and/or striking.

For each charge, defendant either used or exhibited a deadly weapon, or knew that a deadly weapon would be used or exhibited.

It's the sloppiest indictment I have ever read, but that style may be typical in Texas. I assume the courts all allow it.
