A jury in Sacramento convicted three Aryan Brotherhood prison gang members Tuesday on all counts in a weeks-long trial charging them with racketeering, conspiracy to commit murder and drug running inside California prisons.
Yandell was found guilty of 15 counts including racketeering and conspiracy to commit murder, distribution of methamphetamine and heroin and murder in aid of racketeering in the 2015 slaying of inmate Hugo Pinell.
Sylvester, whose presence in court was waived during jury deliberations, was found guilty of the racketeering conspiracy as well as murder in aid of racketeering and drug charges.
"Today's convictions further our effort to dismantle a violent criminal enterprise run from inside California prisons," U.S. Attorney Phil Talbert said.
