Document Summary
Background: was convicted for with trafficking with cocaine. Acting as agent for undercover cop (purchaser, not seller) but doesn"t matter because acted as vendor in making the sale without him, transaction would not have been made. Judgement: normally, a person who aids the purchaser will only be guilty of aiding/abetting the possession of narcotic, not trafficking. Greyeyes did far more than act as a purchaser. He located the seller, brought buyer to site, introduced the parties, without the assistance, this purchase would never have taken place. He acted as spokesperson negotiated price and passed money to seller. Thus greyeyes should be convicted of aiding in trafficking of narcotics. Background: 27 counts of first degree murder. Pickton was convicted of 6 counts of first degree murder in his trial. Killing women from the downtown east side of vancouver, all victims were sex trade workers.
