Waco Day 947

OFF THE WIRE
agingrebel.com
Nine hundred forty seven days after the Twin Peaks Mass Murder, the coverup of the joint federal, state and local, street theater sting operation that created the bloodbath is almost accomplished.
All the litigation that surrounds these state sponsored murders is beclouded by competing interests. The legal consequences are becoming what Stephen Hawking calls a singularity. Information falls in and disappears. All anyone can see is the legal turmoil.
“The Twin Peaks,” as Amanda Dillon calls it, has become such an incomprehensible argument that the truth is just another point of view equal to and indistinguishable from hundreds of other points of view – most of which are lies. “The Twin Peaks restaurant killed Big O’s son.” “Jesus Rodriguez was trying to cut Jacob Cody Reese’s throat when Reese and Jacob Rhyne killed Rodriguez in self defense.” “Waco Swat was there to see and be seen.” “The Cossacks were invited to the Twin Peaks patio that day – by a Bandido leader, who offered to make peace in a long-running feud between the two gangs. That invitation was a setup for an ambush,” “The Confederation of Clubs and Independents is a ‘front’ for the Bandidos.” “The Bandidos are terrorists. They execute people.” “The Cossacks don’t consider themselves an outlaw club.” “There was absolutely no contemporaneous Waco and federal investigation.” “We have discovered all the evidence in the case to the defense. They have everything we have.” “The 63 Cossacks and their supporters at the restaurant were not just waiting to have lunch with fellow bikers from around Central Texas. They had come for a special sit-down with the Bandidos to hash out an ongoing dispute. Before their meal arrived, Diesel was shot, execution-style, with two bullets to the back of his head.” “It don’t rain in Indianapolis in the summertime.”
If everything is true then nothing is true. Lawyers are mostly to blame for the Gordian knot that the Twin Peaks has become.
Here, as of today, are the unresolved components of the “Twin Peaks case.”

Very Many Lawyers

There are nine cases in the multidistrict litigation ongoing in Dallas before a judge named Jim Jordan. The plaintiffs include a couple of shaken Twin Peaks customers called M.K.H. and C.R.H.; Melvin Michael Pattenaude; the estate of Jesus Rodriguez; the estate of Matthew Mark Smith; and Yvonne Reeves and other survivors of Richard Jordan. The various corporate and individual defendants are all associated with the Waco Twin Peaks restaurant. All the complainants think the restaurant is to blame – mostly because the corporations associated with the restaurant have the deepest pockets.
William Richardson, who was wounded at the Twin Peaks, is now suing the restaurant and its management company; former Waco Police Chief Brent Stroman; Waco police Detective Manuel Chavez; McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara; and “John Doe,” an unidentified Waco police officer in the 74th District Court in Waco.
Four plaintiffs are suing various government defendants and the Twin Peaks in federal court in Austin.
There are an additional 30 civil cases with 132 plaintiffs filed against various government defendants in federal court in Austin.
James Edward Stallings, Jr. is suing Detective Manuel Chavez, the city of Waco and others in federal court in Waco.

Many Defendants

There are 27 asset forfeiture cases in McLennan County.
There are 154 unresolved criminal cases of defendants who have been indicted by McLennan County grand juries.
There remain 38 criminal defendants who have neither been indicted nor exonerated.
That totals 366 cases involving civil complainants and civil or criminal defendants.
This accounting excludes continuing or resolved federal charges against members of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club and an ongoing federal investigation of McLennan County District Attorney Abelino Reyna. This also excludes unresolved charges of perjury by Reyna during a pretrial hearing, multiple uncharged instances of perjury by expert and material witnesses during the trial of Jacob Carrizal – the only case to go to trial so far – and possible charges of obstruction of justice by multiple members of the McLennan County District Attorney’s Office.
