Black Mafic Members Sentenced
(WSB Radio) A member of the the drug ring known as the Black Mafia will be sentenced today in federal court, a day after nine other members were sent to prison.
The sentencing on Wednesday took nearly nine hours as, one by one, the drug ring members were sentenced in the U.S. District Court in Atlanta.
All nine received sentences ranging from four years to 16 years on charges of drug conspiracy. They also got probation once they are released.
The final member of the ring to be sentenced, Franklin Nash, learns his fate today.
Federal law enforcement authorities say the Black Mafia was started by two brothers. Demetrius Flenory and Terry Flenory began selling crack cocaine in Detroit high schools in the mid-1980s. Within a few years, their Black Mafia Family had moved into 11 states.
