Bacon Brothers (gangsters)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The Balmoral Tower Highrise building
The Bacon Brothers, Jonathan, Jarrod and Jamie Bacon, are a trio of alleged gangsters, suspected of multiple firearms and drug trafficking charges and implicated in a rash of homicides that have occurred in the Fraser Valley and Greater Vancouver area. They are under police protection, and have filed a complaint against the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
In 2004, an attempted murder charge against Jarrod Bacon was stayed after the victim refused to testify at trial. In 2005, police seized more than 700 marijuana plants and various pieces of pot-growing equipment and charged Jarrod and a friend with possession for the purpose of trafficking. Jamie pleaded guilty to robbery in 2007 in connection with a 2005 home invasion where a man was confined in his Abbotsford home and robbed of marijuana plants and growing-operation equipment. He was sentenced to time served.[1]
On April 3, 2009, Jamie Bacon was arrested by the RCMP Emergency response team for his alleged involvement in the October 19, 2007 slayings of the 'Surrey 6' which included two innocent victims: Chris Mohan and Ed Schellenberg at the Balmoral Tower Highrise building in Surrey, BC, Canada.[2] This development occurred after an associate of the Bacon brothers, Dennis Karbovanec, pleaded guilty to his participation in the slayings.
In September 2009, the Integrated Gang Task Force reported that eight associates had been murdered since the public warning by police that those associated with Jon, Jarrod and Jamie Bacon steer clear of the trio or be potentially marked for death by criminals.[3]
While awaiting trial, Jamie Bacon and his co-accused were being held in isolation. B.C. Corrections Service said this measure was for their own protection because other rivals are also in custody awaiting several trials.
In what legal observers said was an unusual request, Jamie Bacon applied to the Supreme Court of British Columbia to end his "solitary confinement" as a violation of his rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.[4]
The Court found that James Bacon had been subjected to cruel and unusual treatment while in custody, contrary to section 12 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and that this he had been subjected to such treatment purpose of furthering the police investigation. His conditions of confinement were also found to constitute a deprivation of liberty and security of person that was not in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice, contrary to section 7 of the Charter. During the course of the hearing, it was revealed that Mr. Bacon's privileged telephone calls with his counsel had been unlawfully recorded. This matter remains before the Court. Mr. Bacon was released into the general prison population and the restrictions on his visits and telephone communications removed.[5][6]
In May 2010, the court convicted Jamie Bacon of all 11 charges related to the April 2007 discovery of a gun cache but acquitted the older brother Jarrod of all charges.[7]

The shooters were so dumb! All the police have to do is check the gun registry to find out who they are!

*Waiting for modelexis or xlr8 to defend the innocent and/or mentally ill.

*Also waiting for Feruk to wonder why they just didn't use their pixie powers to save themselves.
