The Crown argued at trial that the killings were the result of internal strife within the Bandidos organization.
Aravena, Gardiner and Mather and two others argued at appeal that they should have been allowed to raise the issue of duress at trial.
The Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed their case a year ago.
As usual, the Supreme Court gave no reasons for refusing to hear the appeal.
