Canada - ~Fifth man convicted in Bandidos murders declares intent to appeal~
TORONTO - A fifth man convicted in the mass slayings of eight men associated with the Bandidos biker gang has declared his intent to appeal.
Brett Gardiner was convicted last month of six counts of first-degree murder and two counts of manslaughter. He has filed his inmate notice of appeal, on which he writes the verdict was "unreasonable and contrary to the evidence."
Four other men convicted along with Gardiner - Dwight Mushey, Michael Sandham, Marcelo Aravena and Frank Mather - have already filed their inmate notices of appeal.
Wayne Kellestine, the man portrayed at trial as the mastermind of the murders, has not filed one, though the deadline has not yet passed.
The bodies of the eight men were found on April 8, 2006, stuffed into four vehicles on and around a rural property in southwestern Ontario, just kilometres down the road from Kellestine's farmhouse.
