Gangland widow takes stand

"For more than two weeks Judy Moran has listened as the Crown outlined its case against her; alleging she drove the gunman to and from the scene, disposed of clothing afterwards and that she dumped the alleged get-away vehicle.

Today she walked to the witness box with the aid of a cane, to appear as the first witness in her own defence.

She recalled the shooting deaths of her two sons Mark and Jason and then her ex-de facto husband Lewis Moran.

She told the Court how she always considered them dead but not gone and continued to talk to them from a makeshift shrine in her backyard.

She told the Court that right up until his own violent death in 2004 Lewis Moran continued to pay her bills and to give her $2,000 a month. 'If I needed clothing or anything' she said 'he'd give me more.'

After Lewis Moran was gunned down his brother started giving Judy Moran money. She told the Court it was a couple of thousand dollars on a few occasions but usually just a couple of hundred every three to six months.

Judy Moran says that six months before he was killed, her brother-in-law, who she calls 'Tuppy', ran out of money. He told her he planned to sell a bull to buy her a new car but the bull escaped its enclosure and got hit by a truck."

'137th Street Crew,'Gang Case Arrests Are Made,2 Mafia Family' and 'Goons on Deck' gangs

Monster: The Autobiography of an L.A. Gang MemberGang Case Arrests Are Made - WSJ.com: "arrested 14 alleged gang members who they charged had held their central Harlem community 'hostage' by conspiring to turn it into a drug zone using guns, beatings and intimidating fellow members from cooperating with police.


Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. announced the indictments of 14 members of a street gang called the '137th Street Crew' on Wednesday.

Known as the '137th Street Crew,' the gang of mostly teenagers was a collaboration between the '2 Mafia Family' and 'Goons on Deck' gangs, according to Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance. He said the gangs operated on 137th Street between Lenox and Seventh avenues.

'The gang over years created an environment where residents lived in a state of fear, waiting for the next gunshot, or the next drug deal or the next act of violence,' Mr. Vance said. He said defendants recruited children under 16 to haul guns, transport drugs and participate in shootings, and used young women to 'move firearms to reduce the likelihood of guns being detected by authorities.'"

70 reputed Armenian gangsters arrested

More than 70 reputed Armenian gangsters arrested | Reuters: "70 reputed members and associates of the Armenian Power syndicate were arrested on Wednesday in a state and federal crackdown targeting organized crime, authorities said.

The arrests stem from two federal indictments and state cases that charge a total of 113 defendants with crimes including kidnapping, extortion, bank fraud and narcotics trafficking.

Among the accusations are that Armenian Power members installed 'skimming devices' at cash registers of 99 Cents Only stores and stole customers' information to create counterfeit credit and debit card accounts, officials said.

'The indictments targeting Armenian Power provide a window into a group that appears willing to do everything and anything to generate a profit,' said U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr."

Clay Roueche Says he was "Disappointed to Get a 30-Year Sentence

Gang Nation: Delinquent Citizens In Puerto Rican, Chicano, And Chicana NarrativesClay Roueche Says he was "Disappointed to Get a 30-Year Sentence - The Real Scoop: "convicted founder of the United Nations gang is hoping Judge Robert Lasnik will reduce his jail time Tuesday when he returns to a Seattle courtroom to be sentenced for the second time on drug smuggling charges.

Roueche's lawyer Sheryl Gordon McCloud has filed a 29-page sentencing memo, arguing forcefully against a repeat of the 30-year term Roueche was handed in December 2009. She said the U.S. Attorney has filed inflammatory and unsubstantiated information about Roueche and other members of the United Nations Gang. And it would be unfair if any of the material is used in Roueche's re-sentencing Tuesday, she said.

There are many new letters filed with the court - from Roueche's parents, from his sister, from his young daughters, from a former high school teacher and people who knew Roueche growing up.

But Roueche's letter is the longest - eight pages laying out his positive attributes and apologizing for his role in drug smuggling."
