Alleged Aryan Brotherhood Leader Lawyer: Ignore 'Parade of Perjurers'
Wednesday, July 12, 2006
SANTA ANA, California — A defense attorney urged jurors Wednesday to reject the accusations of a "parade of perjurers" who were promised money and reduced prison sentences for testimony against four alleged ringleaders of the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang.
"The government is asking you to place your trust in these thieves and liars to get a conviction," lawyer Mark Fleming said during his closing argument in the federal racketeering trial.
"They aren't worthy of your belief. It's insulting," he said.
Fleming represents Barry "The Baron" Mills. Also on trial are Tyler "The Hulk" Bingham, Edgar "The Snail" Hevle and Christopher Overton Gibson.
The inmates are implicated in many of the 32 murders and attempted murders detailed in a federal indictment against the white supremacist gang that was founded in 1964 at California's San Quentin prison.
The trial is part of what is believed to be one of the largest death penalty cases in U.S. history. Of the 40 people originally arrested, up to 16, including Mills and Bingham, could face the death penalty.........http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,203205,00.html
