An expert in the motorcycle club and biker culture may have an opportunity to take the stand in the shooting case involving members of the Pagans Motorcycle Club
Prosecutors in Montgomery County want a federal expert to testify about the culture and structure of outlaw motorcycle gangs when nine alleged members of the Pagans motorcycle club stand trial in connection with a shooting outside a West Norriton Wawa last year.
The unusual request surfaced during pretrial hearings this week ahead of the defendants’ scheduled May 18 trial, according to The Mercury.
According to court filings, prosecutors want Jeremy Scheetz, an intelligence operations specialist with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, to explain the subculture, hierarchy and values associated with outlaw biker organizations.
Prosecutors argued that jurors may not be familiar with how such groups operate and said expert testimony could help them understand the alleged motivations behind the confrontation that led to violence in the parking lot.
