Two more of Tekashi 6ix9ine’s co-defendants — Faheem “Crippy” Walter and Jamel “Mel Murda” Jones — have pleaded guilty. U.S. District Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman announced the news on Wednesday (April 3), according to the U.S. Department of Justice website.
In particular, Berman focused on Jones who is the leader of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang.
“Jamel Jones admitted in open court to his involvement in Nine Trey and distributing drugs for the gang,”Berman said. “We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to keep our communities safe and vigorously investigate and prosecute those who bring violence and drugs into our communities.”
As alleged in the Indictment and statements made in open court, “Nine Trey was a criminal enterprise involved in committing numerous acts of violence, including shootings, robberies, and assaults in and around Manhattan and Brooklyn.
“Members and associates of Nine Trey engaged in violence to retaliate against rival gangs, to promote the standing and reputation of Nine Trey, and to protect the gang’s narcotics business. Members and associates of Nine Trey enriched themselves by committing robberies and selling drugs, such as heroin, fentanyl, furanyl fentanyl, MDMA, dibutylone, and marijuana.”
Jones pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy — which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison — as well as one count of participating in a narcotics distribution conspiracy, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison.
His sentencing has been scheduled for July 17.
Walter, on the other hand, pleaded guilty to participating in a violent crime in the aid of racketeering and one firearms offense. His sentencing is scheduled for July 10.
This marks the fifth co-defendant to plead guilty in the racketeering case, following Jensel “Ish” Butler, Kifano “Shotti” Jordan and, of course, 6ix9ine.
Good job 69 get this parasites off the streets and in jail where they belong! 69 is a hero.
Out of all these cats Mel Murda is the one im most happy to see go down. Wackest rapper of all time. 69 was like Nas compared to Mel matrix.
Free 69 the big homie
I don’t see how you can take a plea deal, and get off scotch free, but you’ve done everything that everyone you’re snitching on, has done. That’s my only beef
Its a Rico case. They charge groups of ppl, use it as incentive to turn one, use them as the witness to convict everyone higher up the ladder (like Sammy the Bull on John gottie) then let em go. Like Sammy the Bull..
Rico guarantees civil forfeiture (government taking ALL YOUR SHIT) of anything they think you got from crime..which is EVERYTHING. Mandatory minimum sentencing as well. The gov don’t give a fuck about preventing crime it just wants to win. Prosecutors/lawyers careers are based off win/loss like sports. Hence offering immunity to guarantee conviction. Or planting dope to make sure they get the win
Yep, that’s my entire point, I just didn’t explicitly say it…this is the type of shit we are dealing with…Prosecutors/lawyers give a fuck about, as you said “preventing crime.” Just like right now, Chris Darden, OJ’s ex-Prosecutor, is now the lawyer for Eric Holder, the accused murderer of Nipsey….
I only got one question… How are you the leader of a Bloods gang and you’re nickname is “Crippy”?!?!? You should be “green lighted” on sight for that kinda stupidity!
And speaking of stupidity you obviously can’t read correctly because it named Mel as the “leader” not Crippy. Second, you need to learn the difference between you’re and YOUR Smh
Oops my bad. And yah deadass you right ha
They are all talking now – same old same old. On the street we die by the gang shit. In jail your getting 20 years plus, sorry that wasn’t me it was him.
