The issue was a bad/non-existent warrant and prosecutor/judge misconduct. What they are doing there to the bikers is not legitimate proceedings.
You are just hearing typical jailhouse lawyer arguments.
Here’s a little 45 year legal insight: The defense attorneys are all screaming, because that’s what they do at this point. It gets them some possible conditioning of the jury pool, which will not happen in this case. They are also trying to get media attention for two reasons, it gives credibility to their later argument for a change of venue due to “too much media coverage” to get an impartial jury,” and it is free publicity to get them more possibly winnable cases, lesser felonies, typical B & Es, DWIs, etc.
The DA is going what they do at this point; speaking to the court through motions when they have to. The latest disclosure motion was absolutely required by law. Had he not done so, it could easily have created a valid cause for a new trial on appeal.
DA will start to speak, not about the defs, but about the crime itself, only after venue is settled. He will then tell TV audiences in wherever the trial goes, (If memory serves, Texas moves the judge and the trial to the distant venue, it does not bring in a jury to the original venue) how horrible the crime was, but little about the defs.
He will tell the Good People of X (My guess, Amarillo - Potter County) how horrible the crimes were, good people died, Texas demands justice, etc. because in a a case like this, you first “try the crime, then you try the case.”
Don’t be influenced by the anti-LEO and government haters here, or even worse, the def attorneys. If they had a case, they wouldn’t be so desperate now.
The guy in effect just called (former) District Judge Susan Criss a "jailhouse lawyer".
Like you had said;
which was the gist of Judge Criss's stated objections.
