In what has become a familiar refrain in the first Twin Peaks trial, Jacob Carrizal’s attorney was notified Friday that prosecutors and law enforcement officials again have failed to produce discovery evidence to the defense.
The trial was on a two-day continuance Friday after the city of Waco revealed it had three recordings involving the Twin Peaks case that had not previously been turned over to the state or the defense. Judge Matt Johnson granted a motion for continuance for Carrizal’s attorney, Casie Gotro, Wednesday morning so she could review the materials, which he ordered the city to produce.

There have been repeated, continuous WILLFUL discovery violations by the prosecution on ALL these Waco biker cases for well over a year now. Have the involved judges sanctioned the prosecution even once? If so, I haven’t read of it.

The fascists at Waco are waiting for further instruction.
The guy who shot the Texas church shooter is an “avid biker”.

It must be tough to be a supporter of BJ’s wife posting on FR these days excreting about how all bikers deserve what was meted out to the murdered Waco bikers.
