Book description
The largest mass murder in Canada's history-and how the Canadian
court system let a killer go free
On the night of April 7, 2006, eight members of the motorcycle gang
the Bandidos were killed execution style and left in a farmer's field
near London, Ontario. The brutal slaying, the largest mass killing in
Canada's history, was reported as the work of a rival motorcycle gang.
The Shedden Massacre instantly made international headlines, as did
the sensational murder trial that followed. In Bloody Justice,
readers are taken to the very night of the crime itself, to the key
players and perpetrators, to the events leading to the slayings-and
inside a trial that let a killer go free.
Despite a lengthy, highly publicized trial and the subsequent
conviction of six men, author Anita Arvast outlines her startling
premise that the Crown's main witness, an informant, lied. Reflecting
the author's painstaking research, attendance at the trials, and
jailhouse interviews with one of the convicted, Bloody Justice
outlines a fascinating case that is very much at odds with the prosecution's.
- Details how the Crown's case was based upon the testimony of a
paid informant
- The book dissects the crime scene and court testimony
- Offers insightful research on the key players involved, casting
actions, evidence and circumstances in a drastically different
light than the prosecution
With its eye-opening research and fast-paced narrative, Bloody
Justice offers a compelling new look at a shocking crime and its
aftermath that will forever change any common notions of justice-on
the street or in the courtroom.
