A former Rebels chapter president has moved to “turn over a new leaf” in the years since he helped a gunman flee the scene of an execution-style shooting, a court has been told.
Robert John Stewart McCloskey was acquitted of Johnny Salafia’s murder at his Supreme Court trial last month when Justice David Davies instead found him guilty of accessory after the fact to murder.
Mr Salafi, himself a former Rebels member, was shot three times in the doorway of his Kings Point home near Ulladulla in June 2013 and was later found bleeding out on his lounge room floor.
Bullets were found lodged in his buttock and spine, while another passed through his head. A ballistics expert could not say whether five rounds found at the scene came from the same gun.
