 The torture lasted hours.
| "I didn't fucking do it, man!" Indian Posse Matthew Junior Gamble screamed from the prisoner's box, slapping the railing after his verdict. He was guilty of a horrific aggravated assault and unlawful confinement. The victim was bound, beaten, had brands applied to chest and back with hot knives, and then had his ring finger chopped off. |

 | Gamble's lawyers appealed his 7.5 year sentence because the trial judge erred by not ordering the preparation of a Gladue Report. The judge relied on 3 pre-sentence reports instead.
By law, judges must consider Gladue factors when sentencing First Nations people vis-a-vis "systemic and background factors."
Gamble's appeal failed.
A judge determined Gladue is not an “unvarnished direction to impose shorter sentences on Aboriginal offenders.” See -----> https://www.gangsterismout.com/2016/06/richard-wolfe-co-founder-of-indian.html |
