REAL SCOOP: Ruling on expert report in HA civil forfeiture case
The B.C. government’s civil forfeiture case against the Hells Angels took a hit this week when a judge struck parts of an “expert” report the government filed in support of its efforts to get three biker clubhouses forfeited.
Justice Barry Davies ruled that several parts of the report are inadmissible in the director’s long-running civil case against the Hells Angels. The civil trial finally began last April and has continued on and off over the last year with testimony from police, former Toronto Hells Angel turned police agent Dave Atwell and Micheal Plante, who infiltrated the HA for police in B.C.
And he noted that Isnor’s evidence about Hells Angels photographs he saw inside B.C. clubhouses, “establish serious concerns with respect to the extent that his opinions are tainted by confirmation bias, speculation and tautological reasoning.” “His evidence on this issue also causes me grave concern about his willingness to discharge his duty fairly and impartially,” Davies said.
Davies also raised concerns about Isnor’s opinion that Hells Angels members not convicted of any crime were simply “role players” in the club.
