Canada’s highest court has ruled that a group of presumed Hells Angels members and sympathizers who received a stay of proceedings because of lengthy delays in their case will not have to stand trial.
The hearing took place before the Supreme Court of Canada on Tuesday, with the ruling coming directly from the bench.
The Crown was trying to have a ruling by Quebec Superior Court Justice James Brunton overturned
He ordered the stay of proceedings for 31 men in 2011. They had been arrested as part of the 2009 police sweep dubbed SharQc and were charged with various drug-related offences and in some cases, gangsterism.
