Jury finds Warlocks member guilty of murder

Jury finds Warlocks member guilty of murder - Orlando Sentinel: "Chad Brickey's family members sat in court all week to hear what they heard late Friday: James Madison Bedsole, guilty of first-degree murder.

After deliberating for several hours, a 12-member Orange County jury found Bedsole responsible for Brickey's September 2009 shooting death in Apopka. Judge Roger McDonald promptly sentenced Bedsole to the mandatory penalty of life in prison.

The convicted man sat stone-faced, as he did for much of the trial.

The case gained attention because Bedsole, 40, was a probate member of the Warlocks motorcycle club at the time of Brickey's death. The prosecution attributed his role in Brickey's shooting to Bedsole's job as a probate member assigned to protect other Warlocks' motorcycles.

On Friday, Bedsole was forced to listen to another constituency � the victim's mother, his grandmother and the mother of Brickey's daughter."
