Two of three men arguing in court they were victims of police entrapment have now abandoned that application; the third will get a decision from the judge next week.
Vince Leonard, Wayne Johnson and James Curran were found guilty in May of drug trafficking and possessing money obtained by crime, and Leonard and Johnson were also found guilty of organized crime offences. Their convictions and sentencing were put on hold to allow them time to argue for a stay of the charges on the grounds of police entrapment.
That hearing got underway in St. John’s earlier this week with testimony from Johnson. Leonard and Curran have now decided to remove themselves from the application.
The three men, members of the outlaw Vikings Motorcycle Club, were charged in 2016 as part of the RNC-RCMP joint investigation Operation Bombard.
Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court Justice Daniel Boone found after a trial that the three men had sold illegal drugs to police officers posing as buyers, as evident through the officers’ testimony, photos, and audio recordings captured by the undercover officers, as well as a biker-turned-agent working for police.
