Judge denies speedy trial motion in Clendennen Twin Peaks case

[TexasTowelie]

A judge on Friday rejected a motion from former biker Matthew Clendennen to dismiss the charges against him on a claim his right to a speedy trial has been violated.

Judge Matt Johnson of Waco’s 54th State District Court considered a variety of motions Friday from Clendennen’s attorney, Clint Broden, including a motion to disqualify the McLennan County District Attorney’s Office because it has a tape recording of Clendennen and Broden speaking by phone while Clendennen was still in the county jail.

Broden alleges the DA’s office should be disqualified from the case or the indictment should be dismissed because Clendennen’s right to attorney-client privilege was violated by the jail recording.

Johnson took the motion under advisement, saying he wants to listen to at least a portion of the tape to determine the extent of the damage, if any.

1. Full disclosure, I represent 4 motorcyclists in their civil trial which all civil cases

are stayed.

They arrested 177 motorcyclists attending a legislative update. The arrested them all, everyone there, and charged them all with serious felonies and set $1 million in bail, and for three of my 4 it was $2 million!

They have not had a criminal trial in well over 2 years! Over 150 were indicted, but nothing but delays. My 4 have not even been indicted, but they will not clear them even though they have nothing on them! One guy has a Masters degree in counseling but cannot sit for his test for his license while this hangs over his head.

The local judges are up to their necks in this and one is the former law partner of the embattled DA.

Wait until the truth comes out on this one, it is shocking! The cops just set things up ahead of time to shoot them down!
