David Atwell
said he must spend the rest of his life in hiding for spending 18 months as a
paid police agent against the bikers, the Toronto Star reported.
“I’m
a … rat,” he told the court.
“I’ve
got to be hiding for the rest of my life … . I’m a dead man.”
Atwell’s
testimony came on the second day of the drugs and weapons trial Tuesday of five
members of the downtown Toronto Hells Angels arrested at their clubhouse in
April 2007.
The
president of the club, John Neal, 60, along with two vice presidents and two
other members, face criminal conspiracy charges.
“Those
members of Hells Angels have killed for the club,” Atwell told the jury in
explaining what “Front Line” and “Filthy Few” patches worn
by some members meant.
He
described how they routinely swept the clubhouse for police listening devices
and spoke with hand signals and code words when discussing drug deals.
