Forget indicting a ham sandwich. He indicted the whole hog.

An update on a case which concerned me when it occurred but which then dragged on forever with little of no resolution. Basically a mass indictment with the hope that something might somehow stick sometime. Now, four years later, it appears to have been an unsuccessful strategy.

From Waco Biker Massacre Prosecutions Continue to Fall Apart as Last Set of Original Indictments Dismissed by Brian Doherty.
Nearly four years ago, over 170 people were arrested after a violent altercation outside a meeting of motorcycle club members at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, Texas, was swarmed by police, who had already surrounded the meeting before anything untoward occurred. Nine people were killed and 18 wounded in the melee. This week, the last of the initial set of charges was dropped after a special prosecutorial team didn't like what it saw.
