The B.C. Prosecution Service has announced that it's going to try to overturn a recent court ruling in the infamous Surrey Six killings.

Earlier this month, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Kathleen Ker entered a stay of proceedings against Jamie Bacon on charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder of Corey Lal.

Lal was in suite 1505 of the Balmoral Tower on October 19, 2007, when he and five others were gunned down. Two of the victims, Ed Schellenberg and Chris Mohan, were innocent bystanders.

Today, the Crown announced that it has filed documents in the B.C. Court of Appeal in an attempt to have Ker's ruling set aside.

According to a B.C. Prosecution Service media statement, its policy allows appeals when the Crown is satisfied there are errors in law in the ruling, a reasonable argument exists that the ruling would not have occurred had these errors not occurred, and if the public interest requires an appeal.

The Crown hopes to persuade the B.C. Court of Appeal that a new trial should be ordered.

"Although the fact of the appeal is public, it is anticipated that further filings with the court as well as some or all of the appeal proceedings will be sealed or closed to the public, given the nature of the ruling under appeal," the Crown stated.

Ker's ruling stated that Bacon's counsel "had come into possession of privileged information that they cannot use in his defence which impacts upon Mr. Bacon’s fair trial rights".

"In part, this arose from the manner in which the police handled aspects of privileged and confidential information," the judge noted in her ruling.

Ker also stated that her reasons for issuing the stay of proceedings had to remain sealed to protect the Crown's claims of privilege.

Bacon has been a member of the Red Scorpions gang. His lawyer has told the Vancouver Sun that Bacon plans to apply for bail on an outstanding charge of counselling to commit murder, which dates back to 2008.

Meanwhile, Kamloops RCMP has announced that charges have been laid in connection with alleged Red Scorpion associates Brandon Chappell, Gregory Wilson, and Erwin Dagle.

They relate to several operations taken by police between October 2016 and March 2017.

The RCMP say they recovered $191,445 in cash, 1.3 kilograms of cocaine, 56 grams of heroin, 448 grams of fentanyl, 717 grams of methamphetamine, 231 grams of MDMA, and one firearm from a vehicle and two residences.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.
