That's a truly astonishing coincidence.

Also just a bit surprising that he got through voir dire.

This has to be satire. If it’s not then this a clear indication that this whole thing is about to whitewashed. Imagine being a fellow juror and this “detective” knows your name and everything about you. Now, go ahead. Vote against him!

Waco, Texas is a “Payton Place” of Hypocrisy masquerading as a “Conservative” “Texas” Town.

I’m shocked, shocked that the Waco District Attorney allowed this to happen. Yes, definitely shocked, shocked, I tell you.

“James Head, a 34-year police veteran who has spent 26 years with Waco PD, was among the first 14 on the panel qualified to serve on the grand jury and, beyond that, 19th State District Judge Ralph Strother selected Head to serve as the foreman.

When asked if he had any involvement in the massive Twin Peaks investigation, Head said, “Not really.” He would not elaborate on that answer and deferred additional questions about the Twin Peaks incident to the Waco City Attorney’s Office.”

Please answer Yes or No Mr. Head!

“Not really” means “Yes.”

Yes it's truly shocking. Twin Peaks is turning out to be the biker Stonewall. When will Americans learn to embrace those who are different: from queer and transgendered to hairy leathermen on wheels? It's shocking to see how the establishment is so quick to riddle a guy with bullets just because of his choice of chrome ass jewelry.

"Not Really".

That's the funniest damn non-answer I've seen in a long time.

As in "No, I wasn't actually at the scene, but I've read all the internal reports and pretty much know the whole story, but no. I really wasn't "involved"."

...

Perhaps grand juries are different from trial juries.

Just when you think this case can’t look more dirty.. they go and do this. I guess the jury will be 12 retired members of the Waco PD, too.

They should subpoena this guy to serve as a WITNESS to the Grand Jury.

Not serve as the damn foreman.

Wacko Waco. Hoo Boy.

“...Head, 58, who investigates thefts in Waco PD’s Neighborhood Services Section, acknowledged his selection to the grand jury “is kind of unusual.”
“But the judge is going to be fair. They are not going to let anything underhanded get by up there,” he said.

When asked if he had any involvement in the massive Twin Peaks investigation, Head said, “Not really.” He would not elaborate on that answer and deferred additional questions about the Twin Peaks incident to the Waco City Attorney’s Office....”

There will be no funny business plus I didn’t really have involvement in the Twin Peaks affair. Sure, we really, really believe that.

Well, that makes it easier to get an indictment. Right Mr. Prosecutor?

I can see this happening...

Grand Jury Seated at 9:00

They take a break at 9:15.

Verdict returned at 9:20:

The city of Waco, the Waco PD and - well - just about everyone except them dirty bikers are INNOCENT.

Ah. Missed that. Thanks.

Ham sandwich rule must be upheld, obviously.
