Long Time Coming
November 7, 2017 The Aging Rebel
Two years, five months and 15 days after The Washington Post disgraced itself and the rest of American journalism with a fake news feature titled “Richie died, then Diesel, then Dog: An eyewitness to the Waco biker brawl.,” Bandido defendant Christopher Jacob Carrizal took the witness stand on his own behalf to gave a true eyewitness account of the Twin Peaks Mass Murder in Waco on May 17, 2015.
Compared to most of the witnesses in this trial, Carrizal was remarkably frank and candid about his life as a member of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club. His account is supported by hard evidence including multiple aerial photographs. McLennan County Assistant District Attorney Michael Jarrett never even tried to dispute Carrizal’s account of the events that day. Instead, during a relentlessly snarky cross examination, Jarrett did try to belittle and deprecate Carrizal’s motives for being there.
Throughout the trial, Jarrett has mocked Carrizal for going to Waco that day rather than staying home in Dallas where he would have been safe. Presumably, that is what Jarret would have done.
Carrizal testified under direct examination for about two hours, during which time which time Jarrett raised two objections. Carrizal’s lawyer, Casie Gotro, has an endlessly responsive and sympathetic face with people she likes and she is at her best when she encourages witnesses to simply tell their stories.
