Santa Ana, California 28th July – A federal jury convicted four leading Aryan Brotherhood gang members on Thursday of running a criminal enterprise from behind bars that routinely engaged in murder, narcotics trafficking and conspiracy in an effort to rule the nation’s prisons.
The middle-aged defendants stared stoically at the court clerk as she spent an hour reading and verifying the verdicts, which could lead to a possible death sentence for two defendants and life in prison for the others. All four were convicted of racketeering, conspiracy and murders dating back to 1979.
It was a sweeping victory for the prosecution, which got guilty verdicts on five of the six counts after two weeks of jury deliberations. Jurors acquitted two defendants on a single murder charge, but convicted them on racketeering and conspiracy charges that allege a host of murders were committed to benefit the gang. Jurors also convicted them on three other murder counts.
They were indicted in 2002 along with 36 other gang members and associates under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, which was originally created to prosecute Mafia families. The group was accused of committing 32 murders and attempted murders. The New York Times online article 29th July 2006, ‘Aryan Brotherhood Leaders Are Convicted in Murders’
