Sobiq ilohiyotshunos talaba, askar, politsiyachi va noqonuniy velosipedchi Sandxem jurnalist Jeyn Sims tomonidan "g'alati ambitsiya qo'zg'atadigan boshqaruv g'azabi" deb ta'riflagan. Manitoba.[1]

Velosipedchidan oldingi martaba

Sandxem xizmat qilgan Malika Patrisiyaning polki 1990-1994 yillarda Kanada armiyasining harbiy xizmatchilari, birinchi sinf maxsus xizmatidan sharaf bilan ozod qilingan.[2] Sandxem har doim soxta ravishda elitada xizmat qilgan deb da'vo qilgan Kanada havo-desant polki 1995 yilda bir necha askarlar somaliliklarni qiynoqqa solish va o'ldirishganidan so'ng tarqatib yuborilgan Somalidagi baxtsiz tur 1992-93 yillarda va qora tanli askarlarni kamsitayotgan oq tanli askarlar bilan irqchi hazing haqida videolar paydo bo'ldi.[2] Bundan tashqari, Sandxem jang qilganligini ta'kidladi Bosniya urushi armiyada bo'lgan vaqtida u juda maxfiy topshiriqlarni bajargan va u haqida gapira olmagan va Bosh vazirning qo'riqchisi bo'lib ishlagan. Brayan Myulroni va Qirollik oilasiga, uning xizmat yozuvlari bilan tasdiqlanadigan hech qanday da'vo.[2]

Armiyadan ketgandan so'ng, Sandham tug'ilgan joyida jang san'atlari studiyasini tashkil etdi Vinnipeg.[3] O'z studiyasini targ'ib qilgan risolalarida Sandxem Kanada, AQSh va Janubiy Koreyada bo'lib o'tgan 12 jang san'ati musobaqalarida g'olib chiqqanini va oltinchi darajali qora kamarga ega ekanligini da'vo qildi. Hwa Rang Do, qora kamar jujutsu, to'rtinchi daraja qora kamar taekvondo va ustaning qizil chizig'i qanot chun kung fu.[3] Jang san'atlari assotsiatsiyalari tomonidan Sandxemning biron bir turnirda g'olib bo'lganligi yoki umuman kamar bilan taqdirlanganligi to'g'risida yozuvlar yo'q.[3] Sandxem shuningdek, jang san'atlari bo'yicha o'qitilganligini da'vo qildi Chak Norris, Stiven Sigal, Dan Inosanto va Bill "Superfoot" Wallace.[3]

Va nihoyat, Sandxem o'zini o'zi "kamtarona" "Sando" deb nomlagan jang san'atini ixtiro qilganini da'vo qildi, u o'zi "dunyo buyuk ustasi" edi va u o'z hayotini yaxshilashda ajoyib psixologik ta'sirga ega ekanligini ta'kidladi. "Sando" ning "zamonaviy jangchi uslubi" o'zi kabi ijtimoiy "g'oliblar" uchun edi.[4] O'zini uchinchi shaxs sifatida tasvirlab, Sandham o'zining risolalaridan birida odatdagi imlo xatolariga to'la bo'lgan: "U VIP himoyasi bo'yicha mutaxassisi va shtabning sobiq boshlig'i general DeChastelane [de Chastelain] kabi shaxslarni himoya qildi. Bosh vazir Brayan Molrunni [Mülroni], malika Patrisiya va boshqa har xil yuqori harbiy xizmatchilar. Janob Sandxem, shuningdek, malika Diana va shahzoda Charlzning Kanadaga tashrifi paytida olomon xavfsizligini ta'minlashda qatnashgan ".[4] 1998 yilda Sandxemning studiyasi o'zining ko'plab sobiq talabalarining u hech qanday jang san'atlarini bilmasligidan va Sandoning firibgar ekanligidan shikoyat qilgani bilan bankrot bo'ldi; taxminan shu vaqtning o'zida Sandxemning birinchi xotini uni muntazam ravishda kaltaklagan shafqatsiz er ekanligini aytib, undan ajrashgan.[4]

Jang san'ati biznesida muvaffaqiyatsizlikka uchraganidan so'ng, Sandxem qo'shildi Sharqiy Sankt-Pol politsiya kuchlari 1999-2000 yillarda yordamchi konstable sifatida, keyin esa 2000 yildan boshlab "do'stona va kooperativ" va ajoyib nishon sifatida tavsiflangan to'liq konstable sifatida; Shu bilan birga, Sandham ingliz tilida tez-tez imlo xatolari bo'lganligi haqida shikoyatlar bo'lgan.[5] Biroq, Sharqiy Sent-Pol politsiyasida atigi o'nga yaqin politsiyachi bor edi, chunki Sharqiy Sent-Polning qishloq jamoati qo'shni Vinnipeg politsiyasi tomonidan taklif qilinadigan ish haqi va pensiyalar bilan raqobatlasha olmadi, shuning uchun Sharqiy Sent-Pol politsiyasi xizmati kimni olishi mumkin bo'lsa, ularni olishga tayyor.[5] 2002 yil oktyabr oyida Sandxem Monrealdagi qarindoshining dafn marosimida qatnashishi kerakligini aytib, ta'til so'radi. Aslida, u an dafn marosimida qatnashgan Qonundan tashqari etakchi Sault Sht. Mari.[6] Keyin Sandxem butun bir hafta davomida kasal bo'lib chaqirildi va go'yo Monrealda kasal bo'lib, shu haftani o'tkazdi Woodstock Outlaws 'klubida, o'z klubiga qo'shilishga harakat qilmoqda.[6] Sandham tomonidan The Outlaws bilan suratga tushgan Ontario viloyati politsiyasi (OPP), fotosuratlarni Sharqiy Sent-Pol politsiyasi boshlig'iga yubordi. Uning boshlig'i, agar u noqonuniy baykerlar bilan aloqa qilyapsizmi, degan savolga, Sandxem buni rad etdi. Shu paytda boshliq Sandham nafaqat baykerlar bilan aloqada bo'lganligidan, balki u shunchaki unga yolg'on gapirganidan xafa bo'lganini aytib, fotosuratlarni tayyorladi.[6] Sandxem ishdan bo'shatish o'rniga iste'foga chiqdi.[6]

Keyinchalik, Sandham Manitobadagi noqonuniy velosiped sahnasini egallab olish istagi bilan iste'mol qilindi va oxir-oqibat Kanadada, u o'rtacha noqonuniy velosipedchidan ancha aqlli ekaniga va u o'z cho'qqisiga chiqishga qodir ekanligiga ishondi.[7] O'zini tez-tez irqchilik bilan shug'ullanadigan noqonuniy velosipedchilarga ishonch bildirishga urinish sifatida, Sandxem Kanada havo-desant polki bilan xizmat haqida gapira boshladi va u polkning tarqatib yuborilishiga olib kelgan irqchilik amaliyotlari bilan shug'ullanganini ta'kidladi. 1914 yilda tashkil etilgan va har ikki jahon urushida ko'plab jangovar sharaflarni qo'lga kiritgan malika Patrisiyaning polki, 1968 yilda tashkil topgan va sharmandalik bilan tarqatib yuborilgan havo-desant polkiga qaraganda Kanada armiyasi tarkibidagi obro'li polk edi. Somali ishi 1995 yilda. Sandxem malika Patrisiya polkining o'rniga Havodagi polkda xizmat qilganman deb da'vo qilar edi.

Bandidos

Sandxem Vinnipegdagi "Los Montoneros" nomli noqonuniy velosipedchilar klubiga qo'shildi. Sandham Bandidos milliy prezidenti Jon Muscedere bilan aloqada bo'lib, uning shtab-kvartirasi Xyustonda (Texas) joylashgan Bandidosga qo'shilish uchun "yamoq" berishni so'radi. 2004 yil iyulda Sandxem Bandidosga Vinnipeg bo'limining prezidenti sifatida qo'shildi.[8] Sandxemning afzal taxallusi "Taz" edi, lekin u o'zining bo'yi pastligi va baland ovozi tufayli yoqtirmagan taxallusi tufayli "Taz" o'rniga "Kichkina stakan" nomi bilan mashhur edi.[9] Juda qisqa odam, Sandhamda a bor edi Napoleon majmuasi tovon puli sifatida.[2]

Sandxem Bandidosga qo'shilgandan so'ng, Bandido etakchilaridan biri, Frank "Cisco" Lenti, unga nisbatan juda shubhali bo'lib, Sandxem ilgari politsiyachi bo'lganligi va uni shu sababli qonunbuzarlar rad etganligi va milliy qurolli serjantni tayinlaganligi haqida mish-mishlarni eshitib turishini aytdi, Ueyn Kellestin uni tergov qilish.[6] Lenti, bundan tashqari, Sandhamda tatuirovka bo'lmaganligini ta'kidladi, bu g'ayrioddiy edi, chunki deyarli barcha noqonuniy velosipedchilarning tanalarida ko'plab tatuirovka bor, uning o'zini tutishi politsiyachiga o'xshab, noqonuniy velosipedchi haqida juda befarq taassurot qoldirgan va Sandxem xuddi shunday odamga o'xshagan. kim o'zi uchun emas, balki o'rta maktabning bezorisini "so'rib olgan" edi.[6] Biroq, Kellestin mish-mishlar haqiqatga to'g'ri kelmasligini va Sandxem hech qachon politsiyachi bo'lmaganligini xabar qildi.[10] Kelliestine Sandhamga yaqinlashdi.

Edvards 2009 yilda Bi-bi-siga aytgan edi: "Torontoning homiyligi ostidagi Manitobadagi Vinnipeg shahrida joylashgan bir bob bor edi. Ammo Vinnipegga Toronto tomonidan to'liq yamaqlar berilmadi. Ularda ish xavfsizligi yo'q edi va ular haqiqatan ham hafsalasi pir bo'lgan."[11] Vinnipeg bobiga to'liq yamoqlarning berilmagani asosiy sababi Toronto Bandidos xazinachisi Luis "Chopper" Raposoning Sandhamni Torontoga oylik a'zolik badallarini to'lamaganlikda ayblashi, Sandxem esa uni to'laganini ta'kidlagan. badallar.[12] Raposo va Sandxem o'rtasidagi munosabatlar shiddatli edi, ikkala erkak ham bir-birlarini yuzlarini o'g'irlashda aybladilar.[13] 2005 yil 9 sentyabrda Sandham va Raposo o'rtasida noqonuniy velosipedchi Rassel "Ripper" Fullagerning uyida bo'lib o'tgan uchrashuvda, Vinnipeg Bandido politsiyachini faqat M.H. esladi: "Eshikdan ularning baqir-chaqirlarini eshitish mumkin edi".[14]

Sandxem juda avtoritar rahbarlik uslubiga ega bo'lib, barcha a'zolarga "birodarga yolg'on gapirish" va "ikki aka-ukaning orasiga kirib ketish" ni haydash azobida ta'qiqlagan bir qator qoidalar keltirilgan.[15] Shuningdek, Sandxemning qoidalar kitobida: "Bizning bobimizda buyruqlar zanjiri mavjud. FOYDALANING! YO'Q QADAMNI YO'Q."[15] Sandham bu qoidani Vinnipeg bo'limining vitse-prezidenti Jyeff Korn Musxederga Sandxem bilan kelishmovchiliklariga vositachilik qilishni iltimos qilishga urinib ko'rganidan keyin kiritgan edi.[15] Bunga javoban Sandxem vitse-prezident lavozimini bekor qildi, so'ngra Korn giyoh giyohvandligi sababli chiqarib yuborildi.[15] Edvardsning yozishicha, Sandham "shafqatsiz siyosat va hiyla-nayrang qobiliyatiga ega edi", chunki uning maqsadi butun Kanadadagi baykerlar sahnasini egallab olishdan boshqa narsa emas.[15] 2004 yilda Bandidos tarkibiga qo'shilishni istaganida, Sandham Muscedere va Raposoga nisbatan juda syofantik tarzda o'zini tutgan edi, ammo ular uning ambitsiyalariga to'sqinlik qilganda ularga murojaat qilishdi.[16] Qo'mondonlik zanjirini hurmat qilish to'g'risidagi o'z qoidalariga qaramay, Sandxem Bandidosning Xyustondagi "ona bobiga" elektron pochta xabarlarini yozishni boshladi, Musceder rahbariyatini qoraladi va Raposoni o'g'irlikda aybladi.[17]

2005 yil 25 iyunda Sandxem Kellestinning fermasiga tashrif buyurib, Toronto bobida Vinnipeg boblarini haqiqiy a'zoga aylantirishni istamasligi haqida shikoyat qildi va uni qo'llab-quvvatlashni so'radi.[18] 2005 yil sentyabr oyida Kellestin Sandxemga agar u Bandidoning yamoqlarini kiyishni xohlasa (u hech qachon Xyustondan unga etkazib berilmagan bo'lsa), shunchaki o'zini o'zi qilishi kerakligini aytdi, garchi Bandido qoidalarida Xyuston tomonidan ta'minlanmagan yamoq kiygan har bir kishi chiqarib yuborish.[19] Edvardsning ta'kidlashicha, Kellestin ham, Sandxem ham juda ko'p narsistik xulq-atvor va barcha qoidalarga nisbatan nafratni namoyon etishgan, bu ularga xohlagan ishlarini qilishlariga imkon berishgan.[19] Bundan tashqari, Sandxem Kellestinga Muscedere boshchiligidagi "taslim bo'lmaslik ekipaji" u holda Outlaws-ga qo'shilish uchun "yamoq" qilishni rejalashtirayotganini aytgan edi.[17] Kellestin Sandxemning aytganlariga ishondi va bu bir oz noto'g'ri ma'lumotlar Kellestinni "taslim bo'lmaslikka" qarshi qildi.[20] Kellestin uchun noqonuniy velosipedda harakat qilish uning hayoti edi va hech qanday klubga tegmasdan yolg'iz qolish u uchun o'limga aylanadi.[21] Stratford, Ontario sifatida Kanadaning "metetaytuvchi poytaxti" sifatida qaraladi metamfetamin odatda qishloq joylarida ishlab chiqariladi, chunki u yoqimsiz hid chiqaradi va suvsiz ammiakni tarkibiy qismi sifatida talab qiladi, odatda qishloq do'konlarida sotiladigan o'g'it.[22] Vinnipegda metamfetaminga talab katta edi. Sandxem Kellestin bilan ittifoq uni boy qiladi, deb ishongan, chunki Kellestin Stratford atrofidagi metamfetamin ishlab chiqaruvchilarning ko'pini bilar edi, shu bilan birga Vinnipegda metamfetaminga talab katta edi.[23]

2005 yil 28 dekabrda, Muscedere rahbarligidan tobora norozi bo'lib kelayotgan Bandidosning Amerika rahbariyati uni va uning izdoshlarini pul topolmayotganliklarini, pullari yo'qligi sababli oylik a'zolik badallarini to'lamaganliklarini ayblab chiqarib yubordi. va prokuratura uchun ularni ochiq qoldirib, "sustkashlik" bilan ish olib borishgan.[24] Musceder va uning izdoshlari o'zlarini "taslim bo'lmaslik kerak" deb atashga majbur qilishdi. Irlandiya respublika armiyasi ga qarshi Xayrli juma shartnomasi 1998 yil, chunki ular Xyustondan o'zlarining yamoqlarini topshirish haqidagi buyruqlarini rad etishdi, chunki ular Bandidos dunyosi prezidenti Jeferi Paykning ularni chiqarib yuborish to'g'risidagi qaroriga qaramay Bandidos bo'lib qolmoqdalar.[25] Qonundan tashqari baykerlar o'zlarining yamoqlariga juda katta ramziy ahamiyat berishadi, bu ularning qaysi klubga tegishli ekanligi va o'z klubi ichida qanday mavqega ega ekanligini ko'rsatib beradi.[26] Yamalar klubga tegishli, ularni kiygan erkaklarga emas, agar a'zo chiqarib yuborilsa yoki iste'foga chiqsa, darhol qaytarilishi kerak.[26] Noqonuniy velosipedchilar dunyosida kimdir o'zlariga tegishli bo'lmagan klubning yamog'ini kiyishi juda haqoratli hisoblanadi va zo'ravonlik, odatda kimdir ular a'zosi bo'lmagan klubning yamog'ini kiyganda sodir bo'ladi.[26]

"Taslim bo'lmaslik ekipaji" ning o'z yamoqlarini qaytarishdan bosh tortganligi va Muscederning Toronto bobida qolishiga ruxsat berish uchun ovoz berishga chaqirgani bilan "Bandido Nation" demokratiya emasligini ochiq e'lon qilgani Pikega juda yoqmadi.[27] Shu bilan birga, Sandxem Xyustonga Muscedere va boshqa "taslim bo'lmaslik" vakolatiga ega bo'lmagan shaxslarga elektron pochta xabarlarini yozib, "taslim bo'lmaslik ekipajiga" qarshi Xyuston bilan birga bo'lganligini juda g'alati tilda e'lon qildi.[28] Hech qanday jinoiy aloqasi bo'lmagan Jorj "Crash" Kriarakis Xyustonga tashrif buyurib, yaxshi taassurot qoldirganida, "taslim bo'lmaslik ekipaji" uchun har xil turdagi yutuqlar qo'lga kiritildi.[29]Kanadalik Bandidos velosiped to'dasi fraktsiyalarga, Toronto bilan bog'liq bo'lgan "Taslim bo'lmaslik ekipaji" va Vinnipegda joylashgan raqib fraktsiyaga bo'lingan.[30] "Taslim bo'lmaslik ekipaji" o'zlarining klub binosini sotib ololmadilar va buning o'rniga yig'ilishlarni Torontodagi yunon restoranida podvalda o'tkazdilar.[8]

Qirg'inni rejalashtirish

Kellestinni "taslim bo'lmasin ekipaji" yoqtirmasdi, chunki u uni metamfetaminni o'z manfaati uchun juda ko'p ishlatgan deb ayblab, uni tartibsiz va yoqimsiz deb hisoblar edi. Bu uni Winnipeg fraktsiyasi bilan moslashtirishga olib keldi.[8] O'z navbatida, Sandxem "taslim bo'lmaslik" ni unga va Vinnipeg bobiga to'liq yamoq berilishiga xalaqit beradigan yagona narsa deb bildi va tez-tez Kellestinni Toronto bobiga qarshi harakat qilishga majbur qildi.[31] 2006 yil 4 martda Sandxem "Jon Smit" taxallusi ostida barcha Vinnipeg bob a'zolariga elektron pochta xabarini yubordi, chunki u prezident Sandhamning to'liq bandiga ko'tarilganligini e'lon qildi (u aytmagan).[16] Edvardsning ta'kidlashicha, Sandhamning o'zi tomonidan ilgari surilgan reklama "Sando" jang san'ati singari soxta edi.[16] Sandxem shunday deb yozdi: "Ishlar yaxshi ketmoqda. Torontoga umuman javob bermang !! V (einer) bu erda AQSh bilan ham gaplashish uchun chiqmoqda. AQSh bizning orqamizda 100 foiz, shuningdek Germaniya ... Juda ko'p sevgi, sadoqat va hurmat ... Bandidos Fuckn Canada !!! ".[16]

2006 yil 7 martda Sandxem, Kellestin va "Beton Deyv" Vayx Britaniya Kolumbiyasiga tashrif buyurishdi. Tinchlik Arch Park Amerika-Kanada chegarasida.[32][33] Amerikalik velosipedchilar odatda Kanadaga kira olmaydilar, chunki ularning aksariyati jinoiy yozuvlarga ega va aksincha. Chegarani kesib o'tmasdan suhbat qurish mumkin bo'lgan Tinchlik ark bog'i - bu kanadalik va amerikalik velosipedchilarning mashhur uchrashuv joyidir.[34] Amerikalik Bandido Piter "Mongo" Prays Sandxem va Kellestinga Xyuston "taslim bo'lmaslik ekipaji" 2005 yil dekabrida chiqarib yuborilganiga qaramay, Bandido yamoqlarini kiyib yurganidan g'azablanganligini aytdi.[34] Narx AQShning Bandidos milliy serjanti bo'lib, uni intizomga mas'ul qilgan va unga hamrohlik qilgan Keynard "Hawaiian Ken" Post va Vashington shtatining Bandidos shtatidan Brayan Bentli.[21] Praysning Xyustondan Kellestin va Sandxem bilan Tinchlik ark bog'ida uchrashish uchun uchib kelganligi, u ayniqsa, telefonda gapira olmasligini yoki elektron pochta orqali yozolmasligini aytadigan muhim narsani aytdi.

Narx Kellestinga qo'shimcha ravishda agar u "taslim bo'lmaslik ekipaji" ning "yamoqlarini tortib olishga" muvaffaq bo'lsa, u Kanadadagi Bandidoning yangi prezidenti bo'lishini ma'lum qildi, Vinnipeg bobiga esa "to'liq yamaqlar" berilib, ularni to'liq a'zolarga aylantirdi.[32] Narx Kellestin ham, Sandham ham yolg'onchi Toronto bobida kiyilgan yamoqlarni olib tashlashda muvaffaqiyatsizlikka uchragan taqdirda, ularni chiqarib yuborilishini aytdi.[32] 2009 yildagi sud jarayonida Sandxem Pike vakili bo'lgan Prays unga Muscedere va "taslim bo'lmaydigan ekipaj" ning qolganlari Kanadalik Bandidos mukofoti sifatida yangi rahbar bo'lish uchun Kellestin bilan birga o'ldirilishi kerakligini aytganini aytdi.[35] Tinchlik Arch Parkidagi uchrashuvdan so'ng Vayxe Vankuverda qolishni tanladi, garchi u Sandxem bilan muntazam ravishda telefon orqali almashgan bo'lsa.[36]

Tinchlik kamari bog'idagi uchrashuvdan so'ng dushmani Raposoga elektron pochta xabarlarida, Xendam Xyuston uning tarafida ekanligini bilganligi sababli ustunlik bilan masxara qiluvchi, pastkashlik ohangini qabul qildi.[37] 20-22 mart kunlari orasida Sandham yana Vankuverga borib, Tinchlik ark bog'ida amerikalik bandidos bilan uchrashdi.[38] Winnipeg ekipaji, Sandhamga amerikalik Bandido, Keynard "Hawaiian Ken" Post telefon orqali qo'ng'iroq qilib, nega "taslim bo'lmaydigan ekipaj" haydab chiqarilganidan keyin besh oy o'tgach Bandido yamoqlarini kiyib yurganligini so'ragan va ularning barchasini ushbu vaziyatga yo'l qo'yishda qobiliyatsizlikda ayblagan. davom etish.[39]

2006 yil 25 martda Sandxem o'z izdoshlariga Xyustondan "taslim bo'lmaslik ekipajiga" qarshi harakat qilish to'g'risida buyruq olganini va ular kelayotganlarini aytmasdan Kellestinning fermasiga jo'nab ketayotganlarini e'lon qilishdi.[38] Sandxem izdoshlarini Kellestinning fermasida juda ko'p qurol-yarog 'borligiga ishontirdi, ammo u Kellestin beradigan qurollarda barmoq izlarini qoldirmasliklari kerakligini aytgan holda, o'q o'tkazmaydigan yelek va jarrohlik qo'lqop qutisini yolg'iz o'zi olib keldi.[40] Sandxem Kellestinning fermasiga kelganida, u nima uchun u erga yuborilganini bilmasligimni aytib, unga yolg'on gapirdi va Kellestinga Xyustondan keyingi buyurtmalarni qabul qilishini aytdi.[41] Kellestin Sandxemning tashrifidan hayratga tushdi, lekin u tezda mehmonlarini o'z zimmasiga oldi va o'z fermasida yashirgan qurol-yarog'idan qurol-yarog 'bilan ta'minladi.[42] Qurol saqlashga ikki umrlik taqiq qo'yilganiga qaramay, o'zini "qurol yong'og'i" deb e'lon qilgan Kellestin qurol yig'ishni davom ettirdi va o'z fermasida katta miqdordagi qurol va o'q-dorilar to'plamiga ega edi.[42]

Shimoliy Ontario shahridagi Draydenda to'xtab, Sandham o'zining oddiy rafiqasi Ketlindan qo'ng'iroq qilib, Bandido Per "Carlitto" Aragon Vinnipegga kelgan va uni qidirayotganini aytdi.[43] Aragon aftidan Musceder tomonidan Xyuston bilan bo'lgan muammolarning manbai sifatida ko'rilgan Sandxemni o'ldirish uchun yuborilgan.[43] Kellestinga "yamoqlarni tortib olishda" yordam berish uchun kelgan Sandham yana uchta Vinnipeg Bandidos, ya'ni Duayt "Katta Di" Mushei, kik-bokschi va bokschi, striptiz klubiga egalik qilgan va uni boshqargan; Marcello "Yog'li eshak" Aravena, a tae-kvon Musheyning striptiz klubida ishqiboz va bouncer; Mushey Bandidosga yollagan Bret "Bull" Gardiner ismli Kalgari shahridan bo'lgan sobiq temirchi; va faqat M.H. nomi bilan tanilgan boshqa bir kishi.[44]

Qatliom

2006 yil 7 aprelga o'tar kechasi Kellestinning fermasida ikki fraksiya ishtirokidagi uchrashuv soat 22:30 atrofida, "taslim bo'lmaydigan ekipaj" uning molxonasiga kirganda boshlandi.[8] Mushey, Mather, Aravena va MH miltiq va miltiq bilan qurollangan holda tashqarida patrullik qilayotgan paytda Sandham miltiq bilan raftersda turgan va Gardiner Kellestinning uyi ichidagi politsiya skanerlarini tinglagan.[8] Shunga ko'ra, voqealarning bir versiyasiga binoan, omborxonaga kirishda Luis "Chopper" Raposo miltiq bilan Sandxemni ko'rdi va unga xiyonat qilinganligini anglab etib, unga arra qilingan miltiq bilan o'q uzdi.[8] Sandxem yengilgina jarohat oldi, chunki u o'qqa chidamli jilet kiyib, javob qaytarib, Raposoni o'ldirdi.[8] Biroq, Raposoning eng yoqimli ishorasi "barmoqni berish" edi va uning o'limi paytida aniqlangan otopsi, Raposo o'rta barmoqlarini ko'targan, qolgan barmoqlari esa mushtiga yopishgan va Sandxem o'qi Raposoning ko'tarilgan barmog'idan o'tgan. , uni butunlay parchalash.[45] Sud-tibbiyot dalillari Sandxemning Raposo unga qarata o'q uzganligi haqidagi da'vosini qo'llab-quvvatlamaydi va bundan tashqari, Sandxem o'z xatti-harakatlari uchun javobgarlikni o'z zimmasiga olishga tayyorligi bilan tanilmagan "taniqli patologik yolg'onchi" dir.[46] Raposo Sandhamga barmog'ini bermaganidan boshqa nima bo'lganligi aniq emas, o'sha paytda Sandham o'q uzish uchun snaymer sifatida o'z mahoratidan foydalangan.[47]

Bir necha soat ichida Kellestin ichkilikbozlik bilan ichdi va "taslim bo'lmaslik ekipaji" ni birma-bir qatl etdi. Kellestin o'ldirish uchun mahbuslar bilan o'z omboridan ichkariga va tashqariga chiqib ketayotganda, hamkasblarining hech biri, aksariyati qurol mahbuslarni ozod qilish yoki Kellestinni otish uchun hech qanday harakat qilmadi, garchi ularning barchasi sud jarayonida ular xohlaganliklarini da'vo qilishgan Kellestinni to'xtating.[48] Shu paytgacha Kellestin mast bo'lib, "taslim bo'lmaslik ekipaji" Jeymi "Goldberg" Flanzning oxirgisini o'ldira olmadi va buning o'rniga Sandxem uning boshiga o'q uzdi.[49] Sandxem juda noaniq edi, chunki u noaniq masofadan o'q uzganiga qaramay, Flanz hali ham tirik edi, chunki Sandham uni otib tashlagan edi.[50] Flanz ko'zi bilan yolvorib, hayotini saqlab qolishni iltimos qilganday, achinarli nigoh bilan boshini ko'targanda, Sandxem qurolini tiqib qo'yganini da'vo qilib, o'zini o'ldirishga jur'at etolmadi.[50] Va nihoyat, Sandxemdan ko'ra tajribali qotil bo'lgan Mushey qurolini oldi va Flanzni boshiga yana bir marta o'q uzib, uning tiqilib qolmaganligini isbotladi.[50]

Ikkala Aravena va Gardiner ham Bandido safiga ko'tarilishdi va Gardiner Kellestin bilan o'z fermasida qolishni tanladi.[51] Sandxem va boshqa Vinnipeg Bandidosi o'sha kuni ertalab Kellestinning fermasidan jo'nab ketishdi.[52] Vinnipegga yo'lga chiqish Musheyning Flanzni tugata olmaganligi uchun Sandhamni "mushuk" deb chaqirganidan norozi edi, Aravena Musheydan uni o'ldirmasligiga kafolat so'radi, Sandxem har qachongidan ham dabdabali va mag'rurroq edi va M.H. allaqachon Crown dalillarini o'girishni o'ylab.[52] Barridagi Walmartdagi xavfsizlik kameralari shuni ko'rsatdiki, soat 10: 21-10: 53 orasida, Winnipeg Bandidos do'konida M.H. Keyinchalik Mushey boshqa Bandidoslarga "Bosh va elka" shampunini sotib olish kerakligini aytganini aytdi, u ularni porox qoldig'ini olib tashlash uchun eng yaxshi shampun deb ishontirdi.[53] Winnipeg Bandido bobidagi kuchlar muvozanati, shunchaki maqtanchoqlik deb tanilgan qattiqqo'l harakatlari Sandxemdan Musheyga o'tib ketdi, u o'zini xotirjam tutib, to'planib turdi va u ilgari bunday ishlarni tez-tez qilganini aytdi.[54] Raposoning mashinasida politsiya uning o'tgan oyda Sandham bilan qilgan do'stona bo'lmagan elektron pochta almashinuvlarining nusxalarini topdi, bu Raposo "cherkov" uchrashuvida tayyorlamoqchi bo'lgan va politsiya Sandxemni gumonlanuvchi sifatida belgilashga sabab bo'lgan.[55]

Tergov va hibsga olish

Winnipegga qaytib kelgach, har doimgidek shuhratparast Sandhem Xyustonga Kellestinni bo'shashgan to'p sifatida yomonlagan elektron pochta xabarlarini yuborishni boshladi va uning o'rniga uni Bandido milliy prezidenti bo'lishini talab qildi.[56] Oddiy elektron pochta xabarida, "Bandido yo'li" uchun maqtovga sazovor bo'lgan, Sandham shunday deb yozgan edi: "Bu birodarlik men uchun hamma narsani anglatadi va eng yaxshi ranglarni kiyish men uchun katta sharafdir".[57] Ayni paytda, Kellestin hibsga olingan va 2006 yil 9 aprel kuni kechqurun birinchi darajali qotillikda ayblangan.[58]Vinnipeg politsiyasi Sandxemni qaytib kelganidan keyin ta'qib qilishni boshladi va 2006 yil 10-aprel kuni tushdan keyin Konstabl Grant Gyulet Sandhamning "Blazer" rusumidagi avtomobilini ichki qismini tozalash uchun mashinani yuvishga olib ketayotganini kuzatdi.[59] 2006 yil 14 aprelda M.H. Konstable Timothy Diack bilan uchrashdi, u politsiyaga uning qatliomga aloqadorligini bilishini va u Crownning dalillarini aylantirishi yoki umrining oxirigacha qamoqxonada o'tirishi mumkinligini aytdi.[60] M.H informatorni burib, sim kiyishga rozi bo'ldi.[60] 15 aprel kuni Sandxem o'zining avtoulovining g'ildiraklarini olib tashlaganida, Sandham eski shinalarini uzoq qishloq yo'lining chetiga tashlab yuborganligi kuzatilgan.[59] Tekshiruv davomida Sandhamning qishloqda tashlab qo'ygan shinalari Kellestinning fermasidan topilgan shinalar izlariga mos tushgani aniqlandi.[61]

Jurnalist Bryus Ouen qirg'indan keyin Sandxem haqida shunday deb yozgan edi: "Uning yaqin odamlari uning tinimsiz his-tuyg'ularini ko'rishni boshladilar. U sakkizta qotillikda hibsga olinmaganida, u osonlikcha o'ldirishi mumkin edi. o'z to'dasi. "[62] M.H. Sandxemning vakolati boshqa Vinnipeg Bandidos bilan tobora ko'proq bobda eng aqlli odam bo'lgan Musheyga nisbatan kechiktirayotgani haqida yozilgan edi va u xuddi bobning prezidenti bo'lganidek gapira boshladi.[63] Sandhamning Xyustondan uni Kanadaning Bandidos milliy prezidenti etib tayinlashi borasidagi sa'y-harakatlari Bandidos AQSh kotibi Karleton "Pervert" Bare unga elektron pochta xabarini yuborganida, Kanadalik Bandidoning aksariyati qanday qilib "ahmoq" bo'lganligini shikoyat qildi. mototsiklda yurish, yozish: "Men ilgari Kanadadan bir necha kishi bilan muomala qilganman va hech qachon TUG'R hikoyasini ololmaganman. Nima uchun buni tushunmayapman".[57]

Shu bilan birga, Kellestinning fermasiga bormagan Toronto Bandidoslaridan biri Per "Karlitto" Aragon, Bare-ga elektron pochta orqali uni milliy prezident bo'lishini talab qila boshladi va qo'lini kuchaytirish maqsadida elektron pochta xabarlarini yozdi. Bandidos Avstraliya prezidenti Jeyson Addison Sandxemni ham, Bareni ham qoraladi.[64] Aragon va Sandxem 2006 yil may oyi va iyun oyining birinchi yarmida Xyustonga elektron pochta xabarlarini yozish bilan bir-birlarini qoraladilar va Xyustondan Kanadaning Bandidos prezidenti bo'lish da'vosini qo'llab-quvvatlashni talab qildilar.[65] Iyun oyining oxiriga kelib, Aragon ham, Sandxem ham Bandidos tarkibidan chiqarib yuborilgan va ikkalasi ham qotillikda ayblanib hibsga olingan.

Aragonga politsiya quloq solgan telefon qo'ng'irog'ida Bare Kanadalik Bandidolar Xyustonning buyrug'iga bo'ysunishi kutilayotganligini aytdi: "Sizlar to'g'ridan-to'g'ri AQShning qo'lida, Shimoliy Amerikada ... Jeyson emas [Addison] ... Siz mustaqil emassiz ".[66] 2006 yil 23-mayda Sandxem Bare-ga elektron pochta orqali birinchi bo'lib Aragonning mototsiklga ega emasligini, hattoki Harley-Devidsonni haydashni bilmasligini va velosipedchining huzurida bo'la olmasligini aytdi. birodarimiz "Aragon Aragon uni o'ldirishi mumkinligidan qo'rqib.[67] Aragon Harley-Davidson mototsikliga ega bo'lmaganligi va mototsiklda qanday haydashni bilmaganligi sababli, bu oxir-oqibat Aragonni mototsiklda qanday haydashni bilmasa, noqonuniy velosipedchi bo'la olmaydi degan asosda Xyuston tomonidan haydab chiqarilishiga olib keldi.[68] Vaziyatni yanada murakkablashtirgan 2006 yil 24 mayda Frank "Ciso" Lenti Bandidos tarkibiga qo'shildi va Sandxem bilan Aragonni chetga surib qo'ydi.[69] 26-may kuni Sandxem Addisonga elektron pochta orqali xat yozdi, u Winnipeg Bandidoslari endi Bandidosga aylandi va u Bandidos Kanadaning milliy prezidenti edi.[70] Addison ushbu elektron pochta xabarini Xyustonga yuborganida, Sandxem Xyustonga borishi kerak edi, chunki Pike elektron pochta xabarida o'zini Bandidos Kanadaga prezident qilib tayinlaganini yoki uni Bandidoning to'liq tuzatuvchisi qilganini eslamaganligini aytgan.[71] Sandxem Mushey va M.H. uni Xyustonga kuzatib boring, ammo ikkalasi ham Sandxem o'zini qanday "qattiq yigit" ekanligi bilan maqtashni yaxshi ko'rishini va u Pikening o'zi bilan shug'ullanishi mumkinligini aytib, rad etishdi.[71]

Kanada hukumati Amerika hukumatini Sandxemning Xyustonga yaqinlashib kelayotgan tashrifi to'g'risida ogohlantirdi va AQSh bojxonasi Sandxemga nima bo'lishi mumkinligini ko'rish uchun chegaradan o'tishga ruxsat berdi.[72] Sandxem Texasga safari davomida huquq-tartibot idoralari tomonidan kuzatilgan. Sandxem 30-may kuni Xyustonga keldi va unga Pike va boshqa Amerika rahbarlari nafrat bilan munosabatda bo'lishdi, Sandxem esa o'z xo'jayinlariga nisbatan juda sysofantik tarzda o'zini tutib, barcha buyruqlarga bo'ysunishga tayyorligini doimo ta'kidlab, ularni doimo maqtab turardi.[73] Sandxem Kellestinni Pikega qoralashda juda yaxshi fikrni aytdi va Kellestin "aqldan ozgan onaxon" ekanligini, Pike uni albatta quvib chiqarishi kerakligini aytdi.[73] Sandxem Pikega Aragonni Mart oyida Muscedere uni o'ldirish uchun Vinnipegga yuborganiga ishonganini eslaganda, Pike beparvo Sartelga ishora qilib dedi: "Xo'sh, buyruqlar buyruqlar. Agar men unga [Sartellega] borishga buyruq bersam. o'sha burchakda, u o'rnidan turib, o'sha burchakda siynasini olib o'tirgani yaxshiroqdir ".[73] Uning yonida Sandxem turganida, Bare Torontodagi Aragonga qo'ng'iroq qilib: "Siz Kanadani boshqarmaysiz. Bu haqiqat ... Biz Kanadadagi gangster mentalitetidan kasalmiz va charchadik ... Hammasi shu edi "Jahannam farishtalarini sikinglar, jahannam farishtalarini sikinglar, jahannamning farishtalarini sikinglar". Bu erda bizda bunday narsa yo'q ... Biz Kanadaning bu qadar axmoqlik tufayli kattaroq bo'lishini xohlamaymiz ... Kanadada yo'q boshqa barcha mamlakatlar Bandidos bo'lish uchun qilgan ishlarini qildilar ".[74] Bunga javoban, Aragon Xyustonga elektron pochta orqali amerikalik Bandido rahbarlariga Sandxemning bir vaqtlar Vinnipegda politsiyachi bo'lganligini (noqonuniy velosipedchilar hozirgi yoki sobiq politsiyachilarni o'z saflariga qabul qilmagan) ochib berdi.[65] 2006 yil 3-iyun kuni Bare Sandxemdan uning sobiq politsiyachi ekanligi rostmi yoki yo'qligini so'radi, Sandxem buni qat'iyan rad etdi, ammo Sandxem shu kuni kechroq Vinnipegga birinchi reysni amalga oshirdi, agar u yana qolsa, mezbonlar tomonidan o'ldirilishi mumkin. Texasda.[75] O'zining sobiq politsiyachi emasligini isbotlashga qaratilgan g'ayratli harakatlariga qaramay, Xyuston Sandxemga nisbatan tobora ko'proq shubhalanib, 2006 yil 6-iyun kuni uni haydab chiqargan.[68] 2006 yil 6 iyunda Bare Aragonga telefon orqali murojaat qilib, kanadalik Bandidosning ahvoli yomonligidan shikoyat qildi: "Men sizga o'n marta aytaman, yangi yigitlarni olib kelmang va siz buni darhol bajaring ... Baxt, bu dahshatli edi .. .U erda hamma ham shunchalik sikishgan ... Ismi sikilgan. Obro'si sikilgan ".[76] Xuddi shu telefon qo'ng'irog'ida Bare, endi barcha kanadalik Bandidoslar qo'shimcha ogohlantirishgacha to'xtatib qo'yilganligini va Sandxem sobiq politsiyachi bo'lgani uchun haydab chiqarilganligini aytdi.[76]

Xyustonning yaxshi ne'matlarida qolishga harakat qilib, Sandham Mushey-ning elektron pochta manzilini buzib, Mushey-ning nomi ostida uning rahbarlik mahoratini maqtagan Xyustonga uzoq, shafqatsiz elektron pochta xabarlarini yozdi va Sandham shunchalik "qattiq" noqonuniy velosipedchi ekanligini aytdi, chunki u erda umuman yo'q uning sobiq politsiyachi bo'lishi ehtimoli.[68] Bare-ga odatdagi elektron pochta xabarida, Sandham Mushey shunday deb yozgan edi: "Taz politsiyachi emas va u hech qachon haqiqiy emas edi, bundan juda ham uzoq".[69] Bundan tashqari, Sandem Aragonga Mushey sifatida elektron pochta xabarini jo'natdi: "Haqiqatan ham narsalar juda yomon. Taz politsiyachi emas va u hech qachon haqiqiy bo'lmagan".[69] Sandxem Bandidosda qolishni juda xohlagan edi va Edvards yozishicha, u haydab chiqarilganidan keyin Sandxem "aqlini yo'qotib qo'ygan" ko'rinadi.[69] Lenti uning sheriklaridan biri Sandhamga elektron pochta orqali Kanadalik Bandidosga "AQSh oldida eshakka o'xshab qarashni to'xtatib, yarashish vaqti keldi" deb elektron pochta orqali xabar yubordi, ya'ni Sandemiga Lenti Kanadalik Bandidosni boshqarishiga ruxsat berish uchun chetga chiqishi kerak.[77] Sandxem elektron pochta xabarini yubordi: "Siz mendan yamoqchamni tashlashimni so'rayapsiz. Dovdirab !!".[78] Biroq, Lenti Mafiya bilan yaqin aloqada bo'lgan va dushmanlarining ko'zlarini qirib tashlash odatiga ega bo'lgan Kanadaning velosipedchilar doirasidagi tirik afsona edi va Sandxem undan juda qo'rqib ketgan edi, u o'zini Bandidos Kanadaning prezidenti deb atashga rozi bo'ldi, va Lentiga bu sharafga ruxsat bering.[78] Sandxem qattiqqo‘l yigitning harakatini yoqtirar edi, ammo Edvards shunday yozgan edi: "Ma'lum bo‘lishicha, hamma unga unchalik yoqimsiz ohangda adashishini aytishi kerak edi va u yo‘qolgan bo‘lardi."[78]

Sandxem hibsga olingandan so'ng, ommaviy axborot vositalari u haqiqatan ham sobiq politsiyachi ekanligini tasdiqladi va bu Xyustonni Vinnipegning barcha bobini haydab chiqarishga undadi.[46] Dunyodagi barcha Bandidos boblariga yuborilgan elektron pochta xabarida Pike shunday deb yozgan edi: "Ma'lum bo'lishicha, Taz bu haqda Vinnipegda politsiya xodimi bo'lgan yoki bo'lgan, u Torontodagi hamma bu haqda bilishini va muammoga duch kelmaganligini aytgan. u bilan. BIZNING KLUBIMIZDA KOPShLAR VA HECH QACHON KO'PLAR VA EX-KOPSLAR YO'Q.[79] Xabar qilinishicha, Bandidosning Amerika rahbariyati ommaviy axborot vositalarida Winnipeg bobining "velosipedsiz velosipedchilar" ekanligi haqida xabar paydo bo'lgandan keyin ularni xo'rlashdi, chunki ularning deyarli hech biri mototsiklda yurishni bilmagan va odatiy shartlar bo'lgan Harley-Davidsonga ham ega bo'lmagan. noqonuniy velosipedchi bo'lganligi uchun.[46] Amerikalik velosiped mutaxassisi Tomas Beykerning yozishicha, amerikalik Bandido rahbariyati Kanada Bandidosining befarqligidan qattiq xijolat bo'lgan va bu nihoyat 2007 yil oktyabr oyida ularni Kanadadan olib chiqib ketishga olib kelgan va Kanadadagi Bandidos haqidagi voqea ularning barchasi afzalroq. unutmoq.[45]

2006 yil 16-iyun kuni politsiya Vinnipeg Shedden qatliomiga aloqadorlikda ayblanib, yana uchta erkakni hibsga oldi:[80]

  • Duayt Mushey, 36 yoshda
  • Marchello Aravena, 30 yosh
  • Maykl Sandxem, 36 yosh

Uch kishi OPP hibsxonasiga etkazib berildi va etkazib berildi Sent-Tomas, Ontario sudning o'sha kuni tushdan keyin ko'rinishi uchun. Ularning barchasi birinchi darajali qotillik bo'yicha sakkizta ayblov bilan ayblangan. After his arrest, Sandham denied 223 times to OPP Sergeant Mick Bickerton who was questioning him that he was involved in the massacre, claiming he was not even in Ontario at the time of the killings, instead maintaining that he was raking leaves in front of his Winnipeg home on the weekend of the massacre, despite the fact there are no trees on the street that Sandham lived on.[81] Sandham also denied to Bickerton that he was a member of the Bandidos, saying he had left the club in 2005.[82]

Before the trial started, Sandham had tried to cut a deal with the Crown, where in exchange for total immunity he would testify against the others, but the Crown refused.[83] On 29 December 2006, Sandham changed his story, now telling Bickerton he had been present at the massacre and wanted immunity in exchange for his testimony, portraying himself as a man who tried to stop the massacre.[84] The story that Sandham told Bickerton was full of erroneous information such as Sandham's statement that there was a river running through the Kellestine farm.[85] When Bickerton asked Sandham about why he had brought rubber gloves to Kellestine's farm if he was not planning to kill anyone, Sandham looked confused before saying "not for that" without making any further attempt at any explanation for the purpose of his rubber gloves.[86] Sandham also accused M.H of killing Sinopoli and Kriarakis with a shotgun, but forensic tests showed that both Sinopoli and Kriarakis were killed with handguns.[87] Bickerton told Sandham that "I'm having a hard time believing you", stating that Sandham's story was full of lies, but noted that the Crown would pass along Sandham's statement to the defense lawyers of the other accused as it is normal for the Crown to disclose all evidence to the defense lawyers before a trial.[88] When Sandham learned that the Crown would not be making a deal with him, he broke down in tears, crying hysterically that this was not fair.[88]

Sandham who had prided himself in his emails to Houston on his commitment to the "Bandido way" had just violated one of the rules of the outlaw biker code by attempting to turn Crown's evidence.[88] Former policemen are not popular in prisons, and are usually raped by the other inmates with a special ferocity, and Sandham was terrified about the possibility of going to prison.[89] Sandham was denied bail, and while awaiting trial had to be held apart from the other inmates, who wanted to abuse a former policeman.[89] The sergeant-at-arms of the Bandido Winnipeg chapter, a man only as MH had already cut a deal with the Crown, where in exchange for total immunity he would testify against the others, and the Crown was not inclined to make another deal for Sandham's testimony.[46] Baker wrote that with trials, the first of the accused to make a deal with the prosecution usually gets the best deal, and those of the accused who tried to plea-bargain later do not fare as well; a rule about trials that the former policeman Sandham seemed to be curiously unaware of.[45] Furthermore, Sandham is a well known "pathological liar" whose long and well-documented record of telling lies reduced his value as a witness for the Crown.[46]

Sud jarayoni va sudlanganlik

The murder trial for Aravena, Gardiner, Kellestine, Mather, Mushey and Sandham commenced on March 31, 2009 in London, Ontario with all six of the accused entering pleas of not guilty.[90] The senior Crown Attorney (prosecutor) on the case was Kevin Gowdey assisted by junior Crown Attorneys Fraser Kelly, Tim Zuber, David D'Iorio and Meredith Gardiner.[91] Kellestine was defended by Clay Powell, a Toronto lawyer best known for defending Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones after he was arrested for heroin possession in Toronto in 1977; Sandham was defended by Don Crawford, a lawyer used to defending "ambitious dimwits"; and Aravena was defended by Tony Bryant, well known in Ontario for his dogged defense of the serial killer Pol Bernardo at his 1995 trial.[92] Assisting Crawford was Gordon Cudmore and assisting Powell was Ken McMillian.[92]

During the trial, Powell and McMillian portrayed Sandham as a cold-blooded, ruthless schemer who manipulated Kellestine into committing the murders; Crawford and Cudmore portrayed Kellestine as a bloodthirsty, deranged psychopath who pressured Sandham into committing the massacre; and the lawyers for the rest blamed both Sandham and Kellestine for their actions of their clients.[93]

Only two of the defendants took the stand to testify in their defense. Sandham, who liked to present himself as a tough guy when he was an outlaw biker, spent most of his time on the stand crying out his eyes, whining that it was "unfair" that he should be charged with first-degree murder for his part in the massacre.[89] Sandham delivered what Edwards called "a lie-filled fusion of self-pity and selfless heroism" on the stand starting on 9 September 2009.[94] Sandham began with the statement he been a good student at Bible school and was married with two children, "but technically I have four".[95] Sandham stated that he had always been a hero, and testified that he had served in the Canadian Airborne Regiment and fought in the Bosnian war, performing classified missions that he could not talk about.[95] Sandham also claimed on the stand that during his time in the military to have served as a bodyguard to prime ministers, presidents and royalty.[95] When Sandham mentioned he had served as a bodyguard to Malika Patrisiya, Michael Moon, the lawyer for Mushey challenged him on that point, noting that Sandham was born in 1970 and Princess Patricia died in 1974, and so Sandham could not have possibly been a bodyguard to Princess Patricia.[95] In response, Sandham looked very confused and stunned for a moment before saying it was not the Princess Patricia of the House of Windsor that he had protected, but rather another Princess Patricia from another country whose name he could not remember at the moment whom he had been the bodyguard to.[95]

On the stand, Sandham claimed he had "infiltrated" the Bandidos on his own initiative with the aim of exposing their criminal activities to the police, but was unable to explain to the Crown attorneys why he had repeatedly denied to the police after his arrest on 16 June 2006 that he had been present at Kellestine's farm on the night of 7 April 2006.[83][89] Nor was Sandham able to explain why he did not contact the police after the massacre, given his stated aim was to expose the Bandidos. Sandham did testify that he had supposedly ensured that the vehicles carrying the corpses away did not have enough gas, forcing their abandonment near Shedden as a clever ploy to reveal Kellestine was the killer.[96] Gowdey replied that it would have been simpler for Sandham to just call the police, especially since he was the alleged "infiltrator" out to stop the Bandidos. Sandham testified that he did not want to be Winnipeg chapter president and had been forced against his will by Weiche to play that role, saying that Weiche had threatened to kill him if he did not become Winnipeg chapter president.[97]As he continued to cry out his eyes, Sandham testified that during his stay at Kellestine's farmhouse, the latter had wanted to kill a rabbit, but Sandham had stopped him as the thought of killing an innocent rabbit broke his heart, saying he was a man very opposed to violence.[97] Sandham stated that "pulling the patches" on outlaw bikers was a peaceful progress and no violence was planned; when led the Crown attorney Gowdey to ask him if that was the case, why did he wear a bullet-proof vest and have a rifle with him on the night of 7 April?[89] Sandham replied that his bulletproof vest was "ratty".[97] Amid his tears, Sandham testified Raposo had fired at him, but he was so opposed to violence that he did not choose to shoot back, and instead his gun just went off, killing his archenemy Raposo by accident.[98]

Sandham testified that despite his claims to be a brave "infiltrator", that he was too terrified to stop the massacre, mentioning that Kellestine liked to eat animal excrement as evidence of Kellestine's "crazy" behavior that scared him so much.[89] Sandham testified he wanted to shoot Kellestine, but he was afraid that Kellestine would kill his family if he missed.[99] As Sandham continued to cry his eyes, saying it was only concern for his family that had allegedly prevented him from stopping the massacre, one of the fathers of the victims shouted out to him: "You didn't think about mine!".[99] When Gowdey accused Sandham of lying, stating that the fact that Sandham did not report the massacre and had his Blazer cleaned to destroy evidence proved he was a willing killer, Sandham replied that was not the case at all as: "Imagine four large men going on a long trip and back. The car needed to be cleaned. There was mayo on the seats!".[99] Midway through the trial, Sandham changed his story, now testifying that the massacre had been ordered by Pike, and in May 2006 he paid a visit to Houston where Pike had allegedly personally congratulated him for the killings.[83] As Sandham continued to cry continuously, he presented himself as a victim and a hero, saying: "I wanted to make sure everyone paid for what they did…It is important that everyone in the case came to justice" while stating he was not one of those who should have been indicted.[100] At the same time, Sandham complained amidst his tears that it was "unfair" that he should be charged with first degree murder, saying he was the heroic "infiltrator" who had gone undercover to stop the Bandidos, but he was unable to name a single police officer he been in contact with.[101] Baker wrote that Sandham is a "pathological liar", a deeply dishonest and cowardly man who routinely told the most absurd lies in a vain bid to avoid going to prison for the rest of his life, and nothing he said on the stand can be believed.[83]

Sandham's testimony on the stand was widely viewed as a "train-wreck" that did himself much damage.[102] Sandham was found guilty of 8 counts of first degree murder.[103]

Peter Edwards, the crime correspondent for the Toronto Star described Sandham variously as a "habitual liar" and "the George Costanza of the outlaw biker world".[104] In a 2010 interview, Edwards stated: "...Sandham, he was more laughable than anything. In the trial, more than one person used the nickname "George Costanza" for him. If they made a movie of this, Jason Alexander would be the only choice to play Sandham. Total bungling idiot, but dangerous —the level that he'll scheme to."[105] Sitcomda Seynfeld, the dim-witted character of Jorj Kostanza was given to outrageous lying as part of vain and desperate attempts to improve his social standing.

Aravena, Gardiner, Kellestine, Mather, Mushey and Sandham appealed their convictions; but Sandham ultimately abandoned his appeal. On April 16, 2015, the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed the remaining appeals.[106] Sandham is currently serving a life sentence with no chance of parole.
