Convicted murderers Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston have received mandatory life sentences at the B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.

The pair of former Red Scorpion gang members were found guilty in October of six counts each of first-degree murder for the so-called Surrey Six slayings in 2007. They face a mandatory life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years on those charges.

Johnston also received 20 years on a charge of conspiracy — minus time served — to murder rival gangster Corey Lal. He stood defiant with his hands in his pockets in court as his sentence was read, and earlier in the day he was laughing and grinning before the victim impact statements were read.

Haevischer received 18 years on the same charge and was also given credit for time served.

The morning was taken up with nine victim impact statements read to the court.

Very gruesome stuff. Prohibition does not work and it has very significant negative results like this.

The one good thing the cons did was change that, it's 25 years per person killed now, for first degree anyway. Under new guidelines it would life with no chance of parole for 150 years. These guys will come up for parole in 15 years that's fucked. The guy who shot the 3 mounties last year will get parole in 75 years.
