WACO – May 17, 2018, will mark three years since that deadly biker brawl at the Twin Peaks restaurant, and despite more than 150 people facing criminal charges, there has not been a single conviction.

Davis, who is speaking out for the first time, accuses District Attorney Abel Reyna of letting friends and campaign donors arrested for DWI and drugs go free. Yet, Davis explained, Reyna continues to pursue other cases like charges against dozens of the bikers despite flimsy evidence.

He detailed his concerns in an affidavit, naming several specific criminal cases in which he accused D.A. Reyna of “preferential treatment” in dismissing cases filed against friends and donors.

Davis said the “two-tiered justice system” is something he eventually confronted Reyna about.

“I’ll never forget. He would not look me in the eye when I was talking to him. He had his head bent down, looking at the floor,” Davis recalled. “He raised up and told me ‘Don’t you ever mess with my f***ing business again. Do you understand me?’”

Broden said Reyna made the mistake of conducting widespread arrests without first investigating those responsible for the deaths and injuries.

“And the problem is Reyna's actions jeopardized the prosecutions of the people that really did need to be prosecuted,” Broden said.

Only one case in almost three years has gone to trial. That happened in November, and ended in a hung jury.
