"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.
WOW! So the DA cannot connect ANY single accused to any single victim???
Is THAT what this mishmash is saying?
I think they know what you said is true, but they are trying to intimidate the defendants into a “plea bargain” to make this go away.
If this goes to trial, which I doubt it actually will, it will take many years to actually try the 106 already indicted.
I’m ashamed this is happening in Texas. I doubt this is typical of Texas legal procedure.
And “trial by jury” is based on a jury of local peers. Not a charge by the local DA.
There is an outside agenda behind this. I believe it is about expanding and using this approach to go after groups of people who might oppose the Left’s grand schemes from here. It has Loretta Lynch’s M.O. fingerprints all over it.
