An Austin attorney on Thursday filed a petition asking the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals to intervene in the release of more than 100 bikers that have remained incarcerated since the deadly May 17 shooting in Waco that killed nine.
Austin attorney Keith S. Hampton is asking the court to order the district judge who presides over the Waco region to start arrangingbond hearings for the bikers still in McLennan County Jail on $1 million bails.
To help with the large amount of suspects, the bond hearings would be conducted by judges outside McLennan County.
“If the county gets deluged with arrests it has a duty to assign judges to handle the backlog and is supposed to do it without delay,” Hampton said.
If the petition is granted, retired Williamson County District Judge Billy Ray Stubblefield would be the one to oversee and appoint judges from the 26-county region that includes Travis and McLennan counties to conduct bail hearings. Hampton’s petition asks the appeals court to order Stubblefield to begin making appointments, court documents said.
The release of bikers has been moving slowly, but has sped up in the past week as motions and lawsuits against McLennan County have rolled in from lawyers across the state seeking the quick release of their clients.
After the shooting that started at the parking lot of a Twin Peaks restaurant, Waco police filed blanket charges of engaging in organized crime — a first-degree felony — against more than 170 bikers. The $1 million bails have prevented most of them from being released. In total, 47 bikers have been released, according to the Waco Tribune.
Hampton has not been hired by any of the bikers. He said after seeing reports of the slow-moving process, he decided to file as a petitioner to jump-start bond hearings.
On Thursday, a visiting judge also denied a request from Austin attorneys George Lobb and Adam Reposa to recuse McLennan County district judges from all cases related to the May 17 shootout at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, which authorities believe was a result of a biker gang turf war.
“If you aren’t too busy otherwise I am curious why you feel the need to “reveal” me to be some one I am clearly not?”
Let’s just say I got tired of your discourse on the admirable qualities of motorcycle gangsters and you insistence on trying to get me boxed in on saying they had admirable qualities.
I have patiently and courteously answered every question you put to me. I don’t recall every seeing you post anything in regard to just which position you are observing things from. I am just mildly curious what that might be.

You claim to be an engineer yet you failed your self imposed Google homework in Physics. Then you insisted I explain to you why you got an “F”.
You claim to be “68 years old” but you act 14. You claim to be “in Massachusetts” but you have Black Palms in the yard.
Shall I go on? You seem to be quite intelligent however the only thing you bring to the forum is accusations. You have no personal knowledge to share. You insist on integrity and consistency in everyone but yourself.
If I wanted to be cruel at this point I would post something like, “follow the slime trail back to DU or where ever it is you came from” but I won’t do that. If you would like to go back and check a few boxes, I would be happy to see it. If you want to persist in stating you really are an engineer, fine.
I love trolling...for tuna and Marlin. I really could care less about revealing trolls here on FreeRepublic and have never made an effort to do so. I really don’t care. Go ahead and pretend whatever you wish. I won’t share this with anyone. I have a picture of myself with a giant bluefin. I wouldn’t bother to claim anything here.
Bump Mac.
The Sieg Heil on these threads are to the POLICE MASSACRE hypothesis.
We freedom loving Americans have the right to draw our own lines in the sand. My line in the sand is not to spend my life defending drug running MC clubs who terrorize fellow citizens in border counties with drug running and PROTECTION of Mexican cartel gangs.
No apologies, either. My credentials cannot be legitimately attacked.
“I have a picture of myself with a giant bluefin.”
Kudos!
He pulled you into that, not me.
Rally tomorrow.
“Rally organizers say they are doing everything they can to clear up the misconception that all bikers are involved in gangs.”
I hope They don’t allow the Bandidos to ride with them ... but maybe all the Bandidos are in jail so never mind.

“Rally organizers say they are doing everything they can to clear up the misconception that all bikers are involved in gangs.”
So that seems pretty simple, just do not ride with gangs . . . OR? There have been many gatherings of many more bikers with no altercations or challenges to each other or to LE.
I hope and pray that tomorrow is peaceful.
Are the first amendment protesters going to be riding with or without colors?
Could this be another challenge by the Cossacks to multiple Bandido led biker groups to “their territory”? HOPE NOT.
I hope and pray for a peaceful protest.
And lots of money spent by bikers on coke and hot dogs. ; )
Thank you, TG, for proving my point.
You are simply too far gone down the liberal rabbit hole to reason with.
Goodbye and may the shwartz be with you.
Again; there is treatment for your mental condition. You may not like the probes going inches into your forehead though...
Umm... why are you, as an obvious liberal progressive, on this forum anyway?
“Goodbye and may the shwartz be with you.”
Does this mean you will not be posting personal attacks to me anymore?
“Does this mean you will not be posting personal attacks to me anymore?”
In all the Waco threads all your posts are a personal attack. You are just too dense to know why.
Thank you, LT Calley.
