An attorney for two men arrested in the May 17 Twin Peaks shootout between rival bikers says his clients are being held illegally and is seeking to replace all McLennan County judges connected to the case.
Austin attorney Adam Reposa alleges in motions filed Tuesday that the charging documents filed against his clients, and the 168 others jailed in the chaotic melee, are legally insufficient.
He also claims that the $1 million bonds are unreasonably oppressive and that the judge who set them and the judges who, so far, have not reduced them have shown bias and should be recused.
Reposa represents Jimmy Pond and Thomas Paul Landers. He said Pond, a mechanic from Hays County, is the sole supporter of his family, which includes a disabled wife and autistic son.
Besides the recusal motion, Reposa filed an application for writ of habeas corpus, alleging a client is being held illegally and without proper cause, and a motion for emergency release so Pond can go home and take care of his family.
After the shootout, in which nine were killed and 18 wounded, Reposa said officials “commandeered” the Waco Convention Center as a makeshift holding area while they tried to sort out the magnitude of the event.

“And in the absence of probable cause that a particular biker killed anyone, a $1M bail is excessive. “
Probable cause affidavits are public record.

What I want to know is what happened to Jack Lewis and Wesley Mason?
I find their names nowhere.
The very post that you snipped from contains the very reasons why many of us question the official recounting of the incident (such as it is.)
You seem to be unwilling or incapable of looking at known facts (as sparse as they are) and setting them against the narrative and then noticing the disconnects.
You showed your true and despicable colors when you let it fly...
And even your pathetic attempts to walk that back and lay blame on other posters would be funny if it were not so outrageous.
Everything I have seen you post boils down to "good riddance to bad rubbish." You have been repeatedly shown the danger of that mindset.
Recently CTH spent a whole article about the story of the biker that had witnessed the gang shootings. It was paraded around here debunking the bikers account. CTH said the article lacked verification and was from an anonymous source.
Well here is CTH spending pages trying to prove that the cops did the shooting with an article they say is “Again, we have no way to verify, validate, or authenticate this story. Nor do we wish to.”
However, I do give them credit for opening with “No-one here is saying the police, in totality, did anything wrong.”
I guess they have figured out that the ‘police mass execution’ dog doesn’t hunt anymore.

Hell’s Angels arrested carrying illegal weapons and under the influence at their Toy Drive.
Who the heck needs brass knuckles to deliver toys to kids?

Meanwhile, I still have not seen any autopsy results of the nine dead bikers. Any killed with .223 can safely be assumed as having been killed by police.
You are a troll. When you are booted, I will celebrate.
Of course your laser like focus an “good riddance to bad (sub-human) rubbish” blinds you to understanding the rest of the CTH piece you linked to.

No comment about the Cossacks wearing Hitler’s SS double lighting bolts?
Sweet Mother. Talk about a media firestorm about how they were ambushed.
Fools like you will lap up the “official version of events...”
Some people just don't get the big picture. Our country is obviously headed down a certain path, and that folks are unaware of that path, well, it's boggles my mind.
[Cossacks]” wearing the Bandidos lower rocker.”
What is known? Is any of the following controversial?
1. Cossacks were there.
2. They were wearing the Texas lower rocker.
3. Cossacks are not members of that confederation of clubs.
4. Bandidos are the head of that confederation of clubs.
5. Bandidos “own” the Texas lower rocker.
6. Cossacks showing up either invited or uninvited with the Texas bottom rocker to the Bandidos Confederation meeting would be visible defiance to the Bandidos. Implication being that if it was to be a peaceful meeting to talk things out, they would not have “insulted” the Bandidos by wearing the rocker??
-—> Cossacks were either spoiling for trouble or it was a “set up” but why would they wear the rocker if they wanted to talk things out?
7. Hasn’t it been verified that most of the dead were Cossacks? Does anyone have a break out of the dead by club affiliation? What about the wounded?
8. LE was there because they knew somehow that there were going to be Cossacks at the Bandido meeting and that there was going to be trouble.
We have read the comments of the anonymous Cossack leader. Has there been anything from the Confederation of Clubs or the Bandidos? Just asking! The absence of narrative accounts when there were so many people there just seems strange. Is there a code of silence or something among the clubs? JUST ASKING!
Get a grip. Again, you paste in a snip in a reply to ME that I did not post.
Have you been checked for ADD?
When you are removed from the forum, I shall dance and sing.
It will be a delight to all of us when you are removed from Free Republic.
Your removal from this forum will greatly increase the quality of FR.
So the law is suspended based upon the body count?
It's a lot easier with an AR15 rifle than a handgun. It's also a lot easier with a rifle from a predetermined position with cover.
Have you seen the pictures of the ladder truck that was used to search the roof of TP for "evidence"?
Now it's quite possible a they think someone may have thrown evidence up on the roof but the roof is quite high so it would take a big and obvious throw. OR maybe they were making sure no 5.56 casings were left behind...
