The accused were charged with assault and intimidation of a justice system participant following an altercation in a washroom.
The Crown alleged the assault was retaliation against an informant who was scheduled to testify against a Hells Angels associate.
The court found the primary accused guilty of assault but acquitted him of intimidation, finding reasonable doubt that his specific intent was to impede the informant's duties rather than simply acting out of anger.
The co-accused was acquitted of all charges as the Crown failed to prove he knew of the assault or intended to aid it.
