An attorney for one of the bikers indicted in the deadly 2015 Twin Peaks shootout said it appears the "Twin Peaks dam" is starting to break with the dismissal of charges against 13 bikers Thursday.
Meanwhile, the same attorney, Brian Bouffard, said McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna only dropped the cases in a show of "moral cowardice by an elected official" to avoid adverse testimony at a scheduled Thursday hearing to disqualify his office.
Two district judges signed orders submitted to them by the DA's office Thursday morning dismissing charges against 13 bikers arrested in the May 17, 2015, Twin Peaks shootout and two recusing the McLennan County District Attorney's Office in two other biker cases.
Besides the 13 dismissals, prosecutor Michael Jarrett told the judges that Reyna also intends to formally refuse eight more cases against bikers who were arrested, but have not been indicted in the shootout that left nine dead and dozens injured.
The dismissals came hours before a hearing scheduled for Thursday afternoon at which two bikers were asking to disqualify Reyna from handling their cases on a variety of grounds.
That hearing was canceled in light of Reyna's actions.
Reyna did not return phone calls seeking comment Thursday and declined to provide the Tribune-Herald with a written statement he prepared about the dismissals.
Judge Ralph Strother, of Waco's 19th State District Court, said Thursday he plans to ask the Texas Attorney General's Office prosecutorial assistance division to take over prosecution of the case against biker Billy McRee. Reyna agreed to recuse his office in that case, while he dismissed the case against Jorge Salinas.
Salinas, a two-tour Marine combat veteran; and McRee, a mechanic, are both former members of the Cossacks motorcycle group.

Thanks,,,, you got a grin (smile) outta me on that one ,, I needed a break on everything happening now days.
LOL. Yes, he/she is very pathetic indeed. Sick of this person labeling every biker as a gang member.
Dude you have a foul mouth!
“You just keep showing your ignorance - a mama isnt a dude. ”
A mama is the property of a dude.
“You obnoxious dope.”
Only on these threads is being against murdering pedophile gangs considered being a dope!
Only in your convoluted mind! Does your wife know that you consider her your property? I feel very sorry for her. I'm not anyone's property.
“ I’m not anyone’s property.”
Sorry. I thought you were part of the Bandidos.
Well, that just reinforces my initial opinion of you. You're a totally moronic a$$. First, you call someone with the name "2nd amendment mama "dude" and now you tell me that you thought I was with the Bandidos.
You denied being a dude.
You didn’t deny being associated with the bandidos!
Listen A$$hole! I'm not in your jurisdiction and have no obligation to respond to your false/libelous accusations! We all know that you're just a jackboot copsucker, so go crawl back into the troll cave you live in.
I find it telling that on one hand you go to length to respond to my point but then refuse to respond to another...
Trying to get a negative response out of me? Here you go ....
F off jerkwad. I am not now, nor have I ever been, part of or a member of a motorcycle gang. Got it! I'm sick of your slander and libel on FR of people who support the constitution and don't want to surrender their rights to the kind of prosecution your master/overseer/butt-budy/boss, Reyna, is so fond of dishing out. I believe in the principal of "innocent until PROVEN guilty, unlike you, who has already convicted all those who were arrested at Twin Peaks. There has not been a single conviction of any crime in that incident.
Then quit butting in.
Dude, I have convicted no one.
“Dude, I have convicted no one.”
You have convinced anyone either.
“You have convinced anyone either.” Poor grammar but true, I have convicted some.
