Greeks Trial Moved to Vancouver

Starlee Speers Astral Media Radio, Vernon

The trial for the five alleged Vernon gang members known as the Greeks has been moved to Vancouver. Peter Favell for Crown Counsel, says, the court room originally built for the Air India murder trial is large enough for a trial of this size. He says, 80 witnesses will be called between the 10 defence lawyers and 5 members of crown counsel. Peter Manolakos, Dale Sipes, Sheldon O'Donnell, Leslie Podolski and Douglas Brownell will be tried together for three murders.Favell says, the trial will most likely start in September is expected to last between 6 to 12 months.There will be no preliminary trial because Favell says, they've obtained a direct indictment.
