Had to truncate headline...

So Reyna decided that having James Head as GJ Foreman would not look so good in this high profile case. No LE or family should ever be seated on a Grand Jury, in my opinion.

Or James Head’s relatives were enlightened by a lawyer as to how this is shaping up, and his family convinced him not to throw away his career.

I think that decision was made months ago. I have a vague recollection of reading a report that the biker cases wouldn't be put before the GJ that had a cop as foreman. The report was part of the action when Broden filed a motion on the subject, a day or so after the cop was named to the GJ. At the time, the reports also went on that the biker cases would remain in limbo until October, when another GJ would be empaneled.

IMO, that's too long to be stand accused without specificity, but that's what Texas law allows.

I'm having a tough time figuring out what the DA wants with COCI meeting minutes. Maybe he thinks he'll find something inculpatory in there, but my guess is that this is a dry well as far as supporting the accusation of conspiracy.

Jimmy Graves, a Bandido who also heads the Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents........

Pretty much is counter to all the criminal propaganda the bike gang apologists have pushed all along.

“...The term of the new grand jury will expire Dec. 31. The panel ... could hear evidence to determine whether police officers who fired their weapons that day acted properly and within the scope of their duties....”

Ahh...this is the first that I’ve read that this is a possibility for (one of) inclusion in the grand jury’s responsibilities. Is this to help “shape the battlefield” for the likely civil suits expected down the road? That is, for Waco authorities to be able to say something such as “well, the GJ looked at this and were satisfied that the “police officers” who fired their weapons acted properly”.
