Despite the verdict Chan remains in custody.
He faces another trial in 2017 for a string of offences including the first degree murder of Kevin Anaya and conspiracy to commit murder.
The charges for both cases are the result of a massive police operation called “Desino,” in which several immunity deals were made with gang members in exchange for their testimony against their former fellow gang members.
The Calgary Police Service issued a statement saying it “respects the decision of the jury,” and because Chan has matters before the courts “the CPS is unable to comment further on this issue.”
