Topic: Federal Judge

A heavily redacted 13-page synopsis of a Texas Rangers report suggests an explosive shaped charge was placed on top of the concrete storm cellar at Mount Carmel. Three federal judges reportedly met on a Saturday night to delay the release of the full 200-page report. Photographic evidence from the Department of Public Safety website allegedly shows a circular hole in the concrete structure with rebar pointing downward, which critics claim was intended to target women and children hiding inside.

The discussion turns to the failure of the legal system to hold government officials accountable for the Waco siege. A previous civil case naming officials from Janet Reno down was dismissed by the same federal judge who presided over the criminal trial in San Antonio. Speakers argue that while the legal system may be corrupt, there is no statute of limitations on mass murder, and moral accountability remains.
