Under questioning from Matthew Brown, McNeil’s attorney, Keough acknowledged McNeil was not on the list of gang members he had when investigations into College Station gang activity began several years ago. He also said he was unaware McNeil had been active in gang activity in the Brazos County Jail since his arrest in May 2015. Brown implied through his questioning that, before his arrest two and a half years ago, McNeil had gone to work every day and hasn’t committed crimes indicative of criminal street gang activity, like breaking into cars. Keough acknowledged that it’s possible McNeil had called people “cuz” on social media -- often a possible indicator of gang affiliation, Keough said -- because they were his cousins, not fellow Crips, and that the photos of the Dallas Cowboys on his Facebook page could be there because he’s a fan of the team, not because one of the team colors is blue, the color Crip gang members routinely wear.
