  • ... that the leader of the Quebec Hells Angels was acquitted of 13 murder charges because, at trial, the star witness was unwilling to testify and instead complained about how the Crown had cheated him? Source: "Instead of testifying against Stadnick and Stockford, Gagne used the occasion to tell the court that authorities had not respect his informan't contract, denying him courses and time out his cell."

    • Reviewed: Sensory friendly, this is my first DYK nomination but I still did a review.

  • Welcome to DYK, A.S. Brown and Dr vulpes! Adjusted the nomination credits. You did not need to review another article but thanks for doing so. New enough and long enough. Hook fact AGF on offline source (a cursory scan of newspapers seems to confirm this). Earwig mostly catches quotes. No textual issues; did some copyediting. Good to go.
