Setback
MONTREAL - A judge
has rejected a Crown motion to streamline five complex
megatrials of 124 Hells Angels charged with 22 murders. The
decision by Superior Court Justice James Brunton represents a
failure by prosecutors to apply new federal initiatives aimed at
speeding up the costly mass hearings. (QMI)

PIERRE, SD - A judge
erred by having closed meetings with defense attorneys and allowing
secret defense testing of evidence from a shooting spree by motorcycle
gang members last summer, state lawyers argue. The flap, which is
expected to be decided by the high court in January, arose in a case
involving Chad Wilson, 32, a member of the Hells Angels chapter in San
Diego, and John Midmore, 34, prospect of the Hells Angels chapter in
British Columbia. (AP) |
