In the midst of the first Twin Peaks biker trial in Waco, a judge has been appointed to hear a court of inquiry to determine if McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna or Waco police Detective Manuel Chavez lied during a hearing last year in the Twin Peaks shootout cases.
First Administrative Regional Judge Mary Murphy, of Dallas, on Friday appointed David Peeples, judge of the Fourth Administrative Region, to preside over the court of inquiry.
According to court of inquiry procedure, Peeples will now appoint a special prosecutor to handle the matter. No hearing date had been set Friday for the court of inquiry.
Based on an affidavit from Dallas attorney Clint Broden, 203rd State District Judge Teresa Hawthorne found Monday that there is probable cause to believe an offense was committed and to request a regional administrative judge to convene a court of inquiry.
