WACO – In a sworn affidavit, former lead prosecutor Greg Davis of the McLennan County District Attorney’s Office details item for item the allegations he made as early as 2014 in a federal probe of official misconduct by elected Criminal DA Abel Reyna.
Davis met with FBI Special Agent Dan Burst to outline his concerns of factual allegations regarding favoritism shown political supporters in dropping serious cases; the extensive use of special prosecutors to soft soap cases that demanded their day in court; a pre-trial intervention program that is a transparent wash in serious offenses committed by repeat offenders, many of whom are charged with very serious assaultive or negligent offenses involving children; and the barefaced admission by present lead prosector Michael Jarrett that he and Reyna made the decision to arrest all present at the Twin Peaks gunfight based on their club affiliations with outlaw biker clubs, thereby derailing an investigation of multiple cases of capital murder and aggravated assault then in progress by the Waco Police.
The legal instrument released by the law offices of Robert Callahan and Chris King is relative to the Matthew Clendennen case defended by Dallas attorney F. Clinton Broden. It includes an attached journal of entries regarding the federal investigation noted by Davis during the time of the probe. Clendennen is a commercial lawn care company operator with a background of education at Baylor University and public service as a firefighter.
The subjects covered by the affidavit and others on the agenda will get a thorough airing at a pre-trial hearing to be held on November 20.

Something tells me there is going to be some job openings at the Waco Justice dept. Reyna and his cohorts are the real criminals behind twin peaks. Glad to see they are getting exposed, liklely will get disbarred and might even serve time. Justice will prevail.
Nifong 'em..
You have to admit this looks kind of bad for your boyfriend. Maybe you and Renya can discuss this over pizza.
“You have to admit this looks kind of bad for your boyfriend. “
Did you go to the funerals of your boyfriends?

Greg Davis .... hmmm ... indicted for falsifying county records ....
Non responsive.
So when do you an Renya get to take turns pitching and catching?
They say most of the gang bangers were abused as kids. I guess that is the cause of the child pork obsession?
Indicted, not convicted - the CHARGES WERE DROPPED FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE! You keep trying to push the narrative that Greg Davis is guilty of something.
You're the guilty one. Guilty of absolute stupidity, lying repeatedly and being a first class ass!!!
“Indicted, not convicted - the CHARGES WERE DROPPED FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE! You keep trying to push the narrative that Greg Davis is guilty of something.”
Corruption?
Davis isn’t guilty of corruption but your boss, Reyna, is under FBI investigation for corruption!!! Is that the corruption you’re talking about?
bump
“Davis isn’t guilty of corruption “
Why not? He is party to the same org that you say that everyone that is in is corrupt!
He falsified county documents, was indicted and charges dropped! Who has he done favors for in return?
You said you weren’t going to post to me. Remember?
LIAR!!!!! If the charges were dropped I guess he didn't "falsify documents". You're delusional. I NEVER said that everyone in the organization he's a part of is corrupt! You really, really could benefit from counseling. Stop trying to put words into my mouth.
“If the charges were dropped I guess he didn’t “falsify documents”
You wash my back, I’ll wash yours! Corruption!
“I NEVER said that everyone in the organization he’s a part of is corrupt!”
LOL! They were till the corrupt dude turned on his buddies!
It looks like they are used to high turn-overs.

McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna has lost his third employee in a week through resignation.
Joe Layman, chief of the district attorney’s office’s misdemeanor section and supervisor over the office’s asset forfeiture section, is the latest veteran to leave Reyna’s staff.
Reyna confirmed Layman’s resignation Friday but said he could not comment on personnel matters other than to say that he did not know the reason for Layman’s resignation.
Layman, 61, who worked for former District Attorney John Segrest and Reyna for a total of five years, did not return calls to his cellphone Friday.
Veteran prosecutor Greg Davis, 62, Reyna’s first assistant district attorney who handled most of the office’s death penalty cases, and Julissa Contreras, Reyna’s administrative assistant who worked with Reyna in private practice, both resigned late last week.
Neither of them would comment on their resignations, except Davis said it was something he had been considering for some time.
Layman, whose work with civil forfeiture proceedings pushed the seized assets fund to more than $1 million, has been a licensed attorney for more than 30 years.
His resignation brings to eight the number of employees to resign from the DA’s office this year, including both prosecutors and staff members.
Reyna declined comment on the number of resignations this year.
It sure takes a long time though.

Man jailed 83 days extra after McLennan DA fails to notify of dropped charges
Rookie McLennan County DA Abel Reyna is a man who, during his brief tenure as District Attorney in Waco, has shown himself unafraid to pick fights. First he wanted to buck the Legislature over complying with the state's updated DNA testing statute, delaying testing of potentially exonerating (or incriminating) evidence in the 30-year old Lake Waco murders case. Then he announced what amounts to his own, personal mandatory minimum on DWI deals, including big increases from prior practice in fine and fee amounts. But the longer the young DA remains in office, he'll discover that there isn't as much time to go out picking fights in a job where more than your fair of them come your way of their own accord. Most recently, reported the Waco Tribune Herald ("Waco man wrongly jailed for 83 days may sue county," Feb. 1, behind paywall).
A Waco man is deciding if he will sue the county because he was wrongfully detained for 83 days after the district attorney’s office declined his case for prosecution but failed to notify the McLennan County Jail.
Damion Wayne Evans, 33, stayed in the county jail with no other charges pending against him for almost three months after the district attorney’s office declined to prosecute him on a tampering with physical evidence charge.
District Attorney Abel Reyna said Evans’ improperly extended incarceration was the fault of his office. His staff did not fax a case disposition report to the sheriff’s office so it would know to release Evans.
Damion Evans was jailed for 83 days after the McLennan County district attorney’s office decided they would not prosecute his case.
“I will accept responsibility for the error in my office, and my apologies go to Mr. Evans,” Reyna said. “Though it doesn’t change what happened to him, the only thing I can do is work hard to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
According to court records, Evans was arrested Oct. 12, 2011, after Waco police pulled him over and saw him chewing on something. The officers assumed he was eating drugs or items containing drugs, according to records filed in the case. But they did not take him to a hospital to empty the contents of his stomach.
A case disposition report dated Jan. 17 said prosecutors did not accept the case because without the object the suspect allegedly swallowed, they were “unable to prove what it was or that it was illegal.”
