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.

It's far too late for that. He already did. Swanton did too. Then-- they attempted to muzzle the defense (after they got their licks in, towards as you said; "conditioning the jury [pool]).

YOU, who calls yourself Strac6, and you're compatriot --- are the ones whom "should not listened to", for YOU are attempting to "condition the jury pool" yourself, right now. You stinking hypocrite!

If Renya truly had a case for all 154 defendants -- you wouldn't need to have signed up to FR in order to try and sway public opinion. Every time you point the finger, there are the rest of that handful of your own pointing right back at you.

Who the F are you? Really.

No more BS'ing. Answer the question, or STFU regarding the making of all the rude-ass accusations.

Amazing how many lawyers are on FR. And yes there are major problems with the prosecution’s case; has been from the beginning.

You Don't Say!?!

If the DA had began with charging the crime instead of alleged cause of those having occurred, then I'd have no grounds for objection, and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

And you accuse other people of 'not being able to think logically'.

It is yourself who is mistaking "the ways things go", taking some element of corruption among prosecution as not only; to be expected, par for the course -- but fully proper and justified.(!)

Just who the hell are you? Tell us, noOb.

LOL! OK noob. So really, who are you, Abel Reyna, or Loretta Lynch, maybe Eric Holder? You have all the smarm and charm of Chuck Schumer. For some reason protecting overbearing government was important enough to you to sign up here and shill for it.

Thanks for your insights.
Things got ratcheted up pretty soon after and I hope that hasn’t driven you out of the topic.

I’ve been half-assedly following that story. My first impressions was that they busted and held everyone in that restaurant, sheep and goats alike. There are two kinds of bikers, the outlaw types and the old farts trying to relive their misspent youth by pretending to be like the former.

I kinda identify with the latter, and wonder how many of those got caught up in this.
