"The motion contains the same, weaseling, boiler plate that the previous dismissals in the case have contained: “While probable cause for the Defendant’s arrest and prosecution remains, based on continued investigation, the State is exercising its prosecutorial discretion in dismissing this matter in order to focus its efforts and resources on codefendants with a higher level of culpability

"Those weasel words are nonsense. District Attorney Abel Reyna and his troupe of dancing dogs including Jarrett never had a viable case against Ledcetter. If they had, they would have had him on trial in something less than 700 or 800 days ago.

Looney has always been a thorn in the side of the illegal and corrupt prosecution that began immediately after the mass murder on May 17, 2015. Two weeks after nine men died and 177 witnesses were held on $1 million bonds, Looney alleged that “an attorney representing at least one of the detainees had been offered…bond reductions” in exchange for signing a statement conceding that local police “had the right to arrest the inmate and that he/she will not file a lawsuit against McLennan County and/or the City of Waco.” The unsubstantiated allegation that “probable cause for the Defendant’s arrest and prosecution remains” is just the latest iteration of various rhetorical spells by which prosecutors have sought to protect themselves from the consequences of their crimes."

Today Looney issued a statement that read: “The most bizarre saga in the history of American criminal law continues against other people but it is over against Cody Ledbetter. The things that happened to these people only happen in Third World countries. We have to find a way to learn the lessons necessary to make sure innocent people are not tormented by run away prosecutors like what happened in McLennan County. We must have a check and balance system that currently doesn’t exist because this can never be the case again.”
