Prosecutor Details Start of Aryan Brotherhood War With Black Gang in Massive Capital Case
By GILLIAN FLACCUS

SANTA ANA, Calif. Mar 14, 2006 (AP)— A federal prosecutor told jurors Tuesday that a leader of a violent and highly organized white supremacist prison gang ordered members to start a war against a black gang that left two rivals dead within 12 hours.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Emmick detailed the plot during his opening statement in one of the largest capital punishment cases in U.S. history.

The trial, which could last nine months, involves four alleged leaders of the Aryan Brotherhood. A sweeping racketeering indictment alleges members of the gang were involved in 32 murders and attempted murders over 30 years, most of them orchestrated by the four men on trial.

As many as 16 other defendants could face the death penalty at trials over the coming months, 19 others reached plea deals, and one has died.
