Leon Wiley member of Oakland's so-called "Nut Case" gang will spend the rest of his life in prison

member of Oakland's so-called "Nut Case" gang will spend the rest of his life in prison for the murders of three people during the gang's 2003 killing spree.
Thirty-year-old Leon Wiley laughed and shouted his allegiance to the gang during his sentencing Tuesday in Alameda County Superior Court. Wiley was one of eight gang members who were arrested following the six-week crime spree that included five killings of strangers and numerous robberies. He was convicted in September of murdering 21-year-old Tracy Easterling and directing other gang members to kill 14-year-old Keith Maki-Harris and 24-year-old Jerry Duckworth. A jury also found him guilty of two counts of attempted murder and other felonies. The gang got its name because members allegedly killed for thrills.
