"The following month in another bizarre twist in this tragic case, a former McLennan County sheriff’s deputy named Jennifer Gufaston was arrested and charged with a third-degree felony for having provided gang members with police information two months prior to the Twin Peaks shootout. "

More News to me.

So, was officer Michael Bucher aware of the Cossack-WacoPD collusion?

More defense lawyer marketing blather.

If they had a legitimate case, they would be defending their clients, rather than attacking the DA.

Regarding defense lawyer websites being posted a news, I would remind you that, according to their lawyers, OJ, Bowe Bergdahl, Major Hassan, Casey Anthony, The DC snipers, Manuel Noeiega, El Chapo, the Rosenberg’s, the Underwear Bomber, the Unabomber, all the terrosts in Guantanimo, and every murderer, rapist and terrorist in every American prison... they are all 100% innocent!

Just ask their lawyers..... like this guy.

Sorry, this is not news. This is simply some scummy defense lawyer’s client-seeking website.

By the way, in his next posted blog entry, this lawyer spends the entire time attacking President Trump and Paul Manafort.

Do we really need to know more about this guy?

So it was not unusual when the Twin Peaks Restaurant, which had only been opened slightly more than a month before the violent melee, agreed to host a “Bike Night” on May 17, 2015 that would be attended by the Bandidos and Cossacks. There had been a similar gathering shortly after the restaurant opened that had went off without incident.

Doesn't even know basic facts about the case...this guy is full of crap.

The whole thing is nothing more than a bad marketing blog. As a criminal defense lawyer, he is hoping to get even more criminals to believe they can pay him money and he will prevent them from paying for their crimes.

Who knows?

Did the WACO PD turn on their Cossack “buddies”?

It had nothing to do with Waco shootout

WACO — A deputy jailer with the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office is accused of providing classified information to a suspect in the Twin Peaks shooting investigation.

Lt. Jennifer Guftason Howell, 40, is charged with misuse of official information. According to Sheriff Parnell McNamara, Howell was texting with one of the bikers charged in the case.

According to the arrest affidavit, Howell admitted to being romantically involved with the biker in question. She allegedly texted him the license plate number of a vehicle that had allegedly run a member of the biker’s gang off of the road. She also texted the biker the name and address of the driver of the vehicle.”

Nothing to do with shootout.

Apparently the Waco PD had some kind of association with the local Cossacks as the PD had embedded secret agents and likely plans to entrap the Bandidos.

Possibly to make a presentation on successful techniques at the upcoming Midwestern Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Investigators Association in Waco.

Who in Waco are members of the MOMGIA? Participants?

Signs of collusion between the Waco PD and the local Cossacks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Waco_shootout

On September 14, 2016 three Waco police officers were cleared of wrongdoing in the shootout by a grand jury. A McLennan county grand jury reviewed the cases and chose not to charge Waco officers Andy O’Neal, Michael Bucher and Heath Jackson.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2016 / 2:40 PM / A YEAR AGO
No charges for three police officers in deadly Texas biker shooting
Jon Herskovitz
2 MIN READ

The McLennan County grand jury “no billed,” or did not bring charges, against Andy O’Neal, a 15-year police veteran, Michael Bucher, an 11-year-officer, and Heath Jackson, a 9-year officer, the Waco Police Department said.

“These officers acted professionally under very difficult circumstances,” interim Chief Frank Gentsch said in a statement. He added the three had also been cleared following an internal investigation and would be immediately returning to full duty...

Grand jury clears 3 Waco officers in Twin Peaks shootout
From staff reports Sep 14, 2016

...Four of the people killed in the shootout and one of the wounded were struck with bullets from .223-caliber rifles, the only type of firearms police used at the scene, according to an Associated Press report. Two of the bikers killed also were struck with other types of bullets, according to the AP report...

...Brent Stroman, Waco’s police chief at the time of the shootout, has said three officers fired a total of 12 shots. No other law enforcement officers fired their weapons, Stroman has said, and the rifles were used in a semiautomatic setting during the shootout, not fully automatic...


I saw another article last month that listed which officer shot the 4 men dead (including one armed with a chain, not a firearm, who wasn’t even wailing it at a person or object while he raged).

This same officer observed the initial gunshot and did not kill that shooter (who is the man on trial currently, no?).

At least one other biker who killed another execution style was observed and not shot by officers.

Why stand down on those shooters?
