Is this what passes for justice in Texas now?

quote:



The grotesque harlequinade of justice strutting and preening in Waco has reached a jaw dropping low. One of the Waco police “investigators” of the Twin Peaks Massacre has been appointed foreman of the grand jury that will decide which of the 177 people accused of murder will be indicted and have to stand trial.

James Head, photo above, will lead the panel of 12 jurors and two alternates that will also consider whether police acted legally when they fired into a crowd of motorcycle enthusiasts who had assembled to eat lunch and talk politics at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco on May 17. Nine people died and 18 were wounded. The day after the massacre, Police spokesman W. Patrick Swanton said 192 people had been “detained.” On June 12, Waco Police Chief Brent Stroman said 239 people had been “detained.” An unknown number of those detainees were transported to the Waco Convention Center. That is where Head interviewed an unknown number of those detainees on May 17 and helped decide who was naughty and who was nice.

It's amazing how many people think we have a fair and impartial judicial system in this country.

Texas Grand Jury service is on a volunteer basis. Meaning you get a lot of former police, family of police, etc. serving. Grand Juries are usually very pro Prosecution.

This, however, takes it to a whole new level.
