Psychologist didn’t ask convicted B.C. biker about Hells Angels, court hears

A forensic psychologist who assessed Hells Angel Larry Amero for his sentencing on two murder conspiracy convictions said Monday that he didn’t ask Amero for any details of the notorious biker gang.

Dylan Gatner testified in B.C. Supreme Court that he didn’t think Amero would be forthcoming so didn’t push for information about his role in the Hells Angel’s West Point chapter.

Crown prosecutor Damienne Darby grilled Gatner about his report, which concluded Amero was a moderate to high risk of violence once released, depending on whether or not he cut his criminal associations as he claimed he wanted to do.

Darby asked why Gatner only referred to the Hells Angels as a generic motorcycle club in the report.

“Did you ever ask Mr. Amero, which motorcycle club?” she asked as Amero listened from the prisoner’s box on day six of the 15-day sentencing hearing.
