That’s what Attorneys do and it is news.

I’m confused. Isn’t this a felony case? So why is it in a JP court? Shouldn’t it be in a county court?

I went to the site. Nice to see it being picked up by the Texas Standard, but it that represents a high standard in Texas ... it speaks pretty poorly of the Lone Star State. For one thing, the article is about as substantial as a dollop of whipped cream.

For another, it is quite misleading with "the fate of the 177 individuals who’ve found themselves arrested, and facing bonds as high as $1 million."

Er ... um ... no, ALL OF THEM were held on million-dollar bonds. Not "as high as." Wrong, there. Where did that even come from? It is corrected/contradicted four paragraphs later. Why was "as high as" even IN the story at all? And first, so that the casual reader assumes that only a few were held on "as high as" a million dollar bail?

The Texas Standard is a low one as far as journalism goes.

In before some idiot says: “They must be guilty because the police arrested them.”

[Finny]

And another thing ... just to indicate the journalistic (non)mindset at the Texas Standard -- in this thin gruel of a "story," zero mention that two thirds of those arrested and place on million dollar bonds, all residents of Texas, had ZERO prior convictions or even arrests in Texas!

Piss poor "journalism." Yet I'll bet a lot of people think they're informed by reading the Texas Standards. Yeah .. informed at about two percent.

worst incidents of biker gang violence in U.S. history: 9 dead, 18 injured, and 177 arrested.

Last time I checked they REFUSE to say how many were Killed by Police and How many killed by Bikers, we know they admit to shooting “some”. Sounds more and more like ALL of them were Executed by Police

Same event, earlier report in Waco Trib ...

Criminal defense lawyers file complaint against JP in Twin Peaks cases - WacoTrib.com - Thursday, September 24, 2015

By violating the law, the constitution and judicial canons, Peterson "likely caused the unnecessary extended incarceration of many presumptively innocent individuals," the TCDLA complaint alleges.

The commission has taken no action on Broden's complaint.

“We have a presumption of innocence and for a judge, a judicial official to say ‘We’re gonna send a message’ is totally out of bounds.”
