Notorious Brooklyn Drug Lord Could Face Death Penalty
April 08, 2006
A federal judge has cleared the way for a notorious drug lord in Brooklyn to face the death penalty.
Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff and four co-defendants were supposed to go on trial in Brooklyn later this month on murder and conspiracy charges. But the judge has given McGriff, a reputed crack kingpin with ties to the rap music industry, a separate trial scheduled for later this year.
McGriff allegedly admitted to killing a rapper known as E-Money Bags in 2001. He is also accused of arranging the murder of a suspected drug informant within his own crew.
Prosecutors also charge McGriff funneled more than a million dollars in drug proceeds through rap label Murder Inc.
Murder Inc.'s founder, Irv Gotti, whose real name is Irving Lorenzo, and his brother Christopher were acquitted of money laundering charges last year.
