Defense attorneys are scheduled to begin their presentations Wednesday morning in U.S. District Judge John Robert Blakey’s courtroom, where the trial began May 16.not to let their feelings about gang violence get in the way of the facts, and warned that many of the government’s witnesses were cooperating in exchange for breaks in their own cases, with some being granted immunity despite their alleged involvement in much of the violence.
The currency of the Goonies “was power and respect,” and that to achieve it they used most of the money earned through membership dues and drug sales to buy more guns, many through a straw purchasing pipeline that trafficked weapons purchased from gun stores in Kalamazoo, Michigan, McCurry said.
