The accused, Thomas Bell and Norman Stanley Rosbottom Jr., were tried on a 22-count indictment involving charges of participating in a criminal organization, robbery, kidnapping, assault, firearms possession, and drug trafficking.
The Crown alleged that the accused led a criminal organization associated with the Outlaws Motorcycle Club and the Dead Eyes Motorcycle Club.
The court found that the group constituted a criminal organization and that the accused committed several offences, including home invasion robberies, kidnapping, and drug trafficking, for the benefit of the organization.
The court relied on the evidence of several disreputable witnesses, finding their testimony corroborated by other evidence.
However, the court acquitted the accused on charges related to the kidnapping of Cody Noonan and the firearms found at the organization's headquarters due to reasonable doubt.
