US biker gang member gets 35-year jail term

Court dishes out hefty sentence after man murders rival for stealing his bike

by Visordown News

AN AMERICAN court has sentenced a bike gang member to 35 years in prison for killing a rival biker in 2004 for stealing his motorcycle.

John Price, 37, was convicted by a jury in November of first-degree murder with a firearm and two counts of witness tampering. According to King County sheriff's deputies, he beat Donald Jessup with an axe handle and shot him in the face. Jessup's body has never been found.

King County sheriff's deputies say Price believed Jessup stole his Harley-Davidson motorcycle and was trying to sell it back to him for $800.
