Any of the bikers who accepts a plea deal would be foolish IMHO.
People tend to make rational decisions that work best for them. They are not willing to sign up to carry the flag on a forlorn hope in the interests of justice for all. If you are interested in that, read Shakespeare. These people are between a rock and a hard place and they don't have some deep pockets guy behind the scene who will underwrite the fight against the city and county. If they were liberals, any number of liberal organizations would be providing lawyers pro bono or supporting a legal defense fund. Don't expect that to happen here, but it's possible if someone organizes a crowdfunding effort. I think that the prosecutor, the city, and the county are going to take a beating in court, but the defendants will not individually benefit.
“Any of the bikers who accepts a plea deal would be foolish IMHO.”
Completely agree. Stand strong then sue the chit out of them for wrongful arrest, imprisonment, and tarnishing their good names.
Make the city, state, and feds pay hundreds of millions to every single one of those arrested except for anyone proven to have maliciously killed someone not in self defense.
My hope is all those arrested are one day very very rich due to this farce. Like JP Petersen said; send a message. I wonder if he will appreciate the message when it’s directed at him.
