Jury selection in the trial of the first of the May 2015 Twin Peaks shootout defendants is set to begin Tuesday morning.
A panel of about 150 prospective jurors filled out five-page questionnaires Monday morning and were told to report again at 9 a.m. Tuesday for the beginning of jury selection.
Jacob Carrizal, 36, Bandidos Dallas chapter president, is the first of the 154 indicted Twin Peaks bikers to go to trial. Carrizal, an employee of a Dallas railway company, is charged with one count of directing activities of a criminal street gang, one count of engaging in organized criminal activity with murder as an underlying charge and one count of engaging in organized criminal activity with aggravated assault as the underlying charge.
After the prospective jurors were released Monday, 54th State District Judge Matt Johnson conducted a pretrial hearing in the afternoon to wrap up some last-minute discovery matters and to rule on various motions from the state and Carrizal's attorneys, Casie Gotro and Thomas Lane.
