Exclusive Coverage: Eldorado Red Sentenced To 25 Years in Prison for Conspiracy and Gang Activities, Co-Defendant Gets Life for Murder!

In addition, the jurors heard testimony from a former Crips gang member who said he had bought drugs from the rapper and that BGM was not a record label but a gang. Defense attorney David Wolfe told the jury during closings that the real head of the Montgomery, Alabama Bloods gang was already in jail and that Eldorado Red was merely visiting the city because his family were residents. In contrast to those statements, the jurors heard a court-authorized wiretap between his girlfriend and him arranging a drug transaction which may have help them come to that conclusion. But does selling drugs alone make you a gang member? That question will likely be addressed in Bradford’s appeal his attorney has already indicated will be filed within 30 days.

25-year-old Deandre Washington, the triggerman, was convicted of Murder, Felony Murder, Aggravated Assault, Conspiracy to Commit a Crime, Participation in Criminal Street Gang Activity and weapons offenses and sentenced to Life without Parole plus 20 years.

Prosecutors called admitted killer Jordan Thomas to the witness stand to provide testimony against Washington. Thomas who is currently awaiting prosecution for a murder in Alabama told the jurors that Washington admitted to him that he was the one who shot Lil Phat. He said Washington told him how he saw Lil Phat sitting inside his vehicle at the Northside Hospital parking deck and fired shots inside of the back of his car.
