A federal jury on Tuesday found the reputed leader of the Wicked Town gang faction and one of his top lieutenants guilty of racketeering conspiracy involving a string of murders, shootings, robberies and narcotics trafficking.
The trial has been subject to tight security, including metal detectors outside the courtroom and a ban on electronics. Several witnesses who failed to appear out of fear of reprisal had to be arrested and brought into court on orders of the judge, records show.
In his closing argument Wednesday, Matthew McQuaid , an attorney for Benson, labeled the parade of flippers the “Mercenaries of Cooperation,” con artists unmoored from any truth or facts and willing to do or say whatever the government wants to save their own skin. Lee’s attorney, Lisa Wood, said that when Dockett was confronted by inconsistencies in his statements on the witness stand, he just started “making up lies on the spot.”
