What people fail (or in some cases, refuse) to see is criminal behavior is what precipitated this raid. Since all Terry Yates has to do is create reasonable doubt, it is only a matter of putting three people on the stand: The store manager of the Super K-Mart, Christine McDonald, author of the op-ed piece run by the Houston Comical shortly after the raid, and the store manager of Wal-Mart.
Doing this will show:
1) There had been several complaints to the police and K-Mart management regarding the behavior of those on the property;
2) If all 200+ people claim to be paying customers (and they have), you would think something similar would be happening at the Wal-Mart directly across the street. It's not. Certainly not at 12:30 am.
Voila! You have reasonable doubt!
We the jury find the defendant not guilty of the crime of official oppression.......
