The Family of Clinton Allen demands the Clark Staller Grand Jury be re-convened due to retaliation and Irregularities
The family of Clinton Allen led by his mother Collette Flanagan and community groups will hold a demonstration at the Frank Crowley Courthouse to demand that the Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins re-convene the Clark Staller Grand Jury due to procedural irregularities and blatant retaliation.
Those irregularities include: 1. The only eyewitness to the shooting was not allowed to testify before the Grand Jury; 2. The Grand Jury only heard live testimony from detectives from the Dallas Police Department, James Hallum (DA's Office) and James Bagnall (DPD); 3. Detectives from the DPD and James Hallum discussed testimony from the hearing outside of the Grand Jury room, violating the secrecy policy; 4. Only days after a confrontation between Ms. Flanagan and an alcohol fueled Craig Watkins, the Grand Jury Returned a No-Bill. The Grand Jury for Clark Staller was fast-tracked in retaliation to a video taped confrontation between Ms. Flanagan and Craig Watkins during the Prairie View-Grambling weekend. During that confrontation, eye witnesses confirm that District Attorney Craig Watkins was under the influence of alcohol as he confronted the shooting victims mother. The family has filed a federal lawsuit against The Dallas Police Department, the City of Dallas, and Clark Staller for the shooting of Clinton Allen, and vows to make the lack of indictments for police shootings an election issue during the upcoming 2014 campaign.
