The fact that he indicted 150 people and is now just dismissing these cases is really troubling. He either didn't look into the culpability of some of the people he indicted or he did and decided to indict them anyway. Its either maliciousness or incompetence.
Makes me wonder what the grand jurors were told.

When a hundred people are involved and murders take place, the situation should be taken into consideration.
I dont agree with holding people without evidence, but when there is evidence to comb through, it takes time.

I still stand by the fact that anyone there knew it was a dangerous situation. Cops were visible on roof tops. They had discussions with many of the top players. I tend to think most of those there knew the situation. The DAs office obviously made some mistakes but the events that unfolded that day were not unseen to any. I will say this- if there is a high LE presence it’s not a good time to pull out your concealed weapon. I have taught this to rookies for years. Lots of off duty cops have been shot by on duty uniformed officers.

But the fact still remains none of this would have happened if these two gangs used some common sense and not gather everyone up at the same place. What did they think was going to happen?
It's my guess no one will ever know what really went down except for the few that started the fight in the parking lot.
They should just drop all the charges against everyone involved and let the gangs sort it out on the street. It's not like they will testify against each other.

Slightly different perspective but still relevant. Reyna was the DA when Sam Ukwuachu, a former Baylor football player, was convicted of sexual assault. I don't know if Reyna was the actual trial attorney (or participated in the trial, for that matter), but someone in his office convinced the judge to only admit texts from the alleged victim after the alleged sexual assault and did not allow the admission of texts prior to the incident in which she acknowledged previous intimate contact in spite of claiming sexual assault and losing her virginity on the occasion in question. The conviction was overturned on appeal due to reversible error by the court (not prosecutorial misconduct), and rightfully so since the court never should have been duped in such a way. BUT, prosecutors, as well as defense attorneys, are "officers of the court", and, as such, owe a duty of truthfulness and full disclosure. Reyna, or his deputies, should have not been allowed to introduce only part of the texts into evidence.
