Affidavit alleges McLennan County DA Reyna dismissed cases for friends, campaign donations

McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna dismissed criminal cases for his friends and major campaign donors for political and personal gain and reportedly remains under federal investigation, according to a sworn affidavit filed Friday from Reyna’s former top assistant.

Greg Davis, a trial attorney with more than 30 years’ experience, resigned as Reyna’s first assistant in August 2014, saying he no longer could be a part of a two-tiered justice system that gave preferential treatment to Reyna’s friends and political supporters.

Davis detailed his allegations in an affidavit filed in Twin Peaks defendant Matthew Clendennen’s case as part of Clendennen’s efforts to recuse Reyna from prosecuting his case.

A hearing on the motion is set for Nov. 20, but Davis will be out of the country then and offered an affidavit in place of his testimony at court.
