Witness loses his protection - Nova Scotia News - TheChronicleHerald.ca: "career criminal who helped put a Halifax Hells Angel and three other men away for a Dartmouth murder says he has been pulled from Canada’s witness protection program.
'As of last Friday, they’ve officially given me the boot,' Paul Joseph Derry said in a telephone interview.
'Happy to see me gone, I’m sure.'
On May 28, Assistant Commissioner Stephen White wrote that 'all protection provided to you pursuant to the protection agreements . . . between you and the RCMP and pursuant to the Witness Protection Program Act is hereby terminated effective immediately.'
Derry, who now goes by another name, had been fighting to stay in witness protection since October, when RCMP first sent him a letter saying it was going to end its contract.
News outlets reported at the time that Derry had 13 alleged breaches to the terms of his witness protection agreement. The Chronicle Herald hasn’t seen the list of breaches, but Derry said those incidents included interviews with reporters and radio shows, especially following a book he published in April 2009 about the killing — Treacherous: How the RCMP Allowed a Hells Angel to Kill."
