A Dallas judge has found probable cause exists to request a court of inquiry to determine if McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna or Waco Police Detective Manuel Chavez lied during an August 2016 hearing regarding the Twin Peaks shootout cases.
Based on an affidavit from Dallas attorney Clint Broden, 203rd State District Judge Teresa Hawthorne found there is probable cause that an offense was committed and to request a regional administrative judge to convene a court of inquiry, Broden said Monday in a release.
Broden's complaint stems from a hearing on Aug. 8, 2016, in which Reyna testified to what Broden calls "extensive discussions" he had with Chavez before Chavez signed the identical, “fill-in-the-name” Twin Peaks arrest warrant affidavits for 177 motorcyclists following the May 17, 2015, shootout at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco.
Chavez testified he never spoke to Reyna that night.
