That's not "one more thing". It's not a new idea. You are introducing here nothing "new".

But this is where the not need be proven (simply declared to be) insinuation & innuendo comes in. It's worse than having previous convictions brought up (and mention of those most usually can be tossed out due to how they can unduly influence a jury towards guilt for yet some other criminal act).

What is still needed, no matter how you try to avoid it, is evidence there was conspiracy. You've addressed that only by saying (after I had told you "show me where there is conspiracy" or STFU) as I understood you (when you wouldn't STFU) that you'd intimidate and threaten your way to convincing select "roll-over" defendants to testify not to TRUTH, but what you wanted and needed them to say in order to convict some limited number of the accused, INSTEAD.

That type of activity is contrary to what is stipulated by the Constitution of the State of Texas.
In Texas, the Courts and officers of the Court (including prosecuting attorneys) are tasked not to present winning arguments to achieve convictions, or acquittal, but primarily to be finders of truth.

Once truth can be established, then judgement according to law can take place (hopefully) neutrally.

In regards to the pending trials in McClennan County, I have presented no novel legal theories on this thread, despite the putrid mocking you'd given previously in reply. Yet you have just now confessed your own willingness to bend law and legal procedure past breaking point by introducing falsehoods into court upon which convictions sought by prosecution would ultimately rely.

That's been done in Waco before. Here ya' go (were the prosecutors friends of yours?);

The Waco Four

Well tell me more,
tell me more,
tell me more
I mean was he a heavy doper
or was he just a loser?
He was a friend of yours.

Judge: Kussmaul, co-defendants ‘actually innocent’ of 1992 rapes, murders
By TOMMY WITHERSPOON twitherspoon@wacotrib.com Aug 19, 2016

Convicted murderer Richard Bryan Kussmaul and the three co-defendants who testified against him 22 years ago are “actually innocent,” and Kussmaul should be freed from prison, a retired state district judge ruled Friday.

Judge George Allen, who presided over Kussmaul’s 1994 capital murder trial, recommended that the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals grant applications for writs of habeas corpus for Kussmaul, James Edward Long, Michael Dewayne Shelton and James Wayne Pitts Jr. [end excerpt]

I’m over replying to your jailbird lawyer BS. It’s not just that you do not understand the law, it’s that you want to ensure no one else does either.

I kept wondering.... why all this pseudo-legal BS from you.... PS, you are correct, you have not presented any new legal theories... you have also not presented any valid legal theories at all.

This is all nothing more than jailbird lawyer stuff. We would hear it all the time in law school internships. The perps would tell us about their great legal theories that were going to keep them out of jail, get them new trials, get their charges dismissed, put the LEOs and DA/SA in jail..... and then when the cell door slammed on them... again... they would all claim they were railroaded... victims of discrimination, etc.

The internet just allows this BS to spread wider and farther.

I think I have finally figured it out. You are working so hard to prevent the evidence from being presented in court, and trying to project all sorts of malfeasance on the DA, as opposed the gang of scum murders and drug dealers... are you, or someone you care about, are you one of the defendants?

If not a current def, perhaps you did some previous jail time?

BTW, as per your link... of course there are recantations. Some people are railroaded, especially in some rural counties where the crime so offends the populace, they want “blood” and if some marginally guilty parties get convicted, TS.

It’s not nice, but it’s reality.

The reality is the quoted case has no legal significance in this matter, but plenty of practical bearing on the instant matter.

The perseverance of LEO’s in McClennon County is not lost on the lawyers for both sides. It is one more reason for those marginally guilty parties to cut a deal early, testify against the Tier 1 defs and get out from under the steamroller.

PS, just to be sure of the issues in the matter, I called a retired Def lawyer in Waco, the older brother of one of my classmates. He is very aware of the issues, and says, at a minimum 4 to 12 of the perps will draw at least 20-Life, at least a dozen others 3-5, and many others settle for 180 in County.... and he is A DEFENSE lawyer!

Don’t mess with Texas.

PS, No further replies to your BS.... It’s like teaching a pig to dance....
