pchapman 261 #3 April 3, 2019 (edited) From the article Ryoder referenced about the whole shitshow, I think these are a couple key quotes: The new DA who decided to drop all the charges (edit - talking about how nothing was done for ages about actually getting bikers into court): Quote “In my opinion, had this action been taken in a timely manner, it would have, and should have, resulted in numerous convictions and prison sentences against many of those who participated in the Twin Peaks brawl,” he continued. Quote Dallas attorney Don Tittle, who represents about 120 of the bikers in their civil lawsuits, told the Tribune-Herald’s Tommy Witherspoon that “things would have gone differently” if “law enforcement had stuck with the original plan to focus on individuals who might have been involved in the violence and let the rest of the motorcyclists go after being interviewed.” Edited April 3, 2019 by pchapman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
