A visiting judge on Monday denied a motion from McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna's office to remove 19th State District Judge Ralph Strother from presiding over two Twin Peaks shootout cases.
Noting that Strother already has voluntarily recused himself in one Twin Peaks case when he thought it was the right thing to do but he declined to do so in these cases, Judge Phillip Vick, of Denton County, denied the state's motion.
The judge also denied defense motions seeking sanctions against Reyna's office on the grounds its recusal motions were filed in bad faith and only for the purpose of delaying a defense hearing to disqualify Reyna from prosecuting bikers Jorge Salinas and Billy McCree, both members of the Cossacks motorcycle group.
Prosecutors Michael Jarrett and Brody Burks, who filed the motions to remove the judge last week, declined comment after the hearing. They filed the recusal motions only after Strother denied a state motion to delay the hearing and with witnesses with adverse testimony against Reyna waiting in the hallway.
Fort Worth attorneys Brian Bouffard and David Conrad Beyer, who represent Salinas and McCree, respectively, said the motion from Reyna's office obviously was filed only to postpone a hearing on a motion to disqualify Reyna, a hearing at which Reyna and his assistants and former Reyna assistants were subpoenaed to testify.

7 more years until some or several low level flunkies get a wrist slap.
As I have said all along the answer to just what happened here is in how those in authority handle it. They fact that they are handling it in the same way they handled Kent State and Ludlow tells us volumes.
Have you been read your Miranda rights ?
