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.

This was a murder under the cover of law. Or as it used to be called, A Badge Killing.
Until they get it to where it shows the police in a favorable light, if not exonerates them. You will not see a video.
I bet the jackboot lickers are still shedding bitter tears.
There were also other bikers who were not members of either group, but were arrested, are being held on ridiculous bail, and have had their property seized.
Other sources have said that there were people arrested who had CCW permits, no priors, etc. Why haven't they been released?
Taken in concert, the appearance is that LEOs on the site have taken control of any and all information sources they can to control the media narrative over the event--including people.
That level of sequestration indicates they want to set the media meme until the news cycle blows over to minimize any forthcoming damage and to possibly give them time to bury "Brady Material" (evidence exonerating the accused).
If I was one of them. I would share that fear. As far as their public statements go, they are saying exactly what the police told them to say, or variations of it.
The police themselves converted me. By their actions and deeds. I went from believing what they said to believing nothing they said. I went from teaching my children that the police were their friends to admonishing my grandchildren to avoid any contact with the police whenever possible. All based upon how they treaded me. And I have violated no laws.
Don’t kid yourself, if the police would shoot these bikers down like dogs, given the opportunity, these same police would shoot you [or me] down like a dog.
” that the NAZIS had those that were released from concentration camps and detention centers sign. “
Speaking of Nazis, have you noticed the SS tattoos and patches the Cossacks are sporting?
“All based upon how they treaded me.”
I don’t get that treatment. But then I don’t hang with thugs.
“This was a murder under the cover of law.”
Do you mean that all the rounds shot were shot by LE, or only the ones that hit someone? Just asking. Trying to picture that scenario.
“Other sources have said that there were people arrested who had CCW permits, no priors, etc. Why haven’t they been released? “
Oh. Before it was gospel riders. And when you couldn’t back that up you dropped it. Now it is CCW holders.
Others sources ... duh.
I do not suppose that it is against the law for them wear the tattoos and patches. I would not do it, but that is them and I am me. They do not bother me, I do not bother them.
I found the photo ... the ladder was almost horizontal when extended ABOVE the roof.
If you have a mind ,use it. Draw you own conclusions. Other that that I can’t help you.
Ah, I see. The highly questionable acumen theory. Is it also going to rain today because your corns hurt?
“I do not suppose that it is against the law for them wear the tattoos and patches.”
But it does speak to who they are.
“They do not bother me, I do not bother them.”
Are you in a riding club?
Do you pay dues to the local gang via the Confederation of Clubs?
Do you have to have your patches approved by the CoC?
Do you have to inform the CoC before you take a club ride?
Not to mention what this does to the public image of cyclists.
Sure, you may think they don’t bother you but what is the real story?
No to all your questions. I do not even own a bicycle, let alone a motorcycle. My only transportation, other than my feet is an 07 half ton Chevy pick up. Once a month they have bike night in downtown Plant City. I have never went nor do I intend to. It doesn’t interest me. What does concern me is the casual manner the police have gotten into of shooting people down. It concerns me because I am a people and I know that if they casually shoot them, if the urge strikes them they will shoot me.
Where is your proof of this baseless assertion?
Logical thinking, at least, might reveal to any thinking person that bikers stayed the same; whereas the government got worse.
