Judge Criss;
"If the order is verbal then it is not going to be enforceable without some verifiable record of exactly what is ordered. And then there is the whole issue of due process in the securing of an order without prior notice to the other side."
[snip]
“We have been put in a position of not really knowing if an order was issued by the Court, what the exact order was, what the circumstance of the order being rendered were and how to acquire any more information about the supposed order. This makes it impossible to advise our clients and render effective representation. This makes it impossible to make an effective record. Our adversary cannot serve as our intermediary with the Court. Furthermore our not being able to provide input to the Court prior to court orders being rendered causes multiple problems.”

"To add the indignity of having the prosecution demand we play in their sandbox to avoid further waiving our client's Constitutional rights is problematic on many ethical, constitutional and appellate levels."

Paul Looney (experienced, veteran criminal defense attorney, Houston);
"I am spending all of my hours shopping bookstore to bookstore for the Book of Waco," Looney said, "because the criminal procedures being followed in Waco are not in any of the $400,000 worth of books I have in my law library." Sound of silence in Twin Peaks biker case drawing ire

I had left out a potion I'd copied from the dropbox link to former Judge Criss (acting as defense attorney) letter to Judge Strother, and DA Renya.
"I take no issue with the Court's authority to have defendants on bond make appearances in court in person. I do strenuously object to "court" being held in the prosecutor's office. I object to a status conference being parlayed into a mechanism for the Court to assist the prosecution in executing a search warrant issued by another judge.

Some 'money quote' there, eh? The Book of Waco. What store do they sell
that law-book in? 'Local rules of the Court' can't be going against normal, widely known-of law pertaining to criminal procedure, one would think. But if I say such things, then -- according to some jackwagons around here-- I'm a 'jailhouse lawyer'.
Former Judge Criss. Jailhouse lawyer! (?)
Defense Attorney Looney. Jailhouse lawyer! (?)
I've been enjoying how the jackwagons keep having the wheels come off little crap-wagon loads of "stories" (loaded with the filth of false accusation -- against FREEPERS) they keep dragging through FR threads...
Look! here's another one they caught...
