Hey there, time traveller!

LONDON, Ont. — An ex-police officer and former Winnipeg Bandido has been calm and polite in the witness box at his trial on eight counts of first-degree murder in the death of eight Bandido bikers.
Michael Sandham routinely calls the lawyers who question him “sir” and told the jury on the first day of his testimony he was “soft-spoken.”
But in a video of his first interview with police the day after he was arrested in June 2006, a ranting and raving Sandham repeatedly denies even being at co-accused Wayne Kellestine’s southwestern Ontario farm on April 8, 2006, when the Toronto-area bikers were shot to death.
“I wasn’t there,” he said repeatedly.
The jury has heard he said the same phrase and variations of it 223 times.
Sandham, 39, in his sixth day of testimony, told lawyer Michael Moon, who represents another accused, Dwight Mushey, he wouldn’t confirm anything to police because they had his wife, Kathy, in custody on a charge of accessory after the fact for her role in the disposal of tires from Sandham’s red GMC Jimmy.
