Defence attorney Ron Brady argued security lapses at the Port Colborne police station makes it impossible to determine who leaked information to the Hells Angels.

But Crown prosecutor Robin Flumerfelt said the evidence overwhelmingly points to the guilt of Const. Dean Rudge, regardless of the inadequate security.


Quote from the article:

After hearing final arguments Monday, concluding more than two weeks of testimony in a Welland courtroom, Judge Harrison Arrell will announce his verdict May 13 into charges against Rudge, who was arrested April 4, 2007, for breach of trust by a public officer. Considering lax security at the Port Colborne police station, Brady said, anyone from a disgruntled former police officer to a cleaning person could have had access to confi- dential documents that were later found in the possession of a member of the Hells Angels. Brady said the fact that his client's fingerprints were found on several of those documents does not prove he was responsible for leaking information to the members of the motorcycle gang prior to a police crackdown in 2006. Brady said the Port Colborne office was protected by an alarm system, but no one ever bothered to set it. And, he said, the three-number code used to gain access to the office had not been changed in 24 years.
