WACO
— Only a few of the people arrested in the May biker shooting outside a
Waco restaurant remain under ankle monitoring, and none are still in
jail.
the Waco Tribune-Herald reported Sunday. Their lawyers
have reached agreements with prosecutors to modify the conditions of
their pre-trial release.
After initially locking up more than 170
people in connection with the May 17 incident outside Twin Peaks
restaurant, McLennan County prosecutors have not charged anyone with the
shooting deaths of nine people. At least 20 others were hurt.
Those arrested were charged with engaging in organized criminal activity.
Prosecutors
did not return messages from the newspaper seeking comment. But defense
attorneys suggested the district attorney’s office eventually plans to
dismiss charges against at least some defendants.
“We are
starting the letting go process, although they are not admitting they
did something wrong,” said one attorney, Adam Reposa of Austin.
The shootout in the parking lot of the restaurant erupted during an apparent confrontation between rival biker gxxxs.
Investigators
have not yet offered details about who shot whom or whether police
officers fatally shot anyone, though reports reviewed by The Associated
Press indicate police bullets did hit at least one biker.
