TRENTON
– Attorney General Anne Milgram announced
that two alleged members of the Sex Money
Murder set of the Bloods street gang pleaded
guilty today in Mercer County.
Felicita
Gee, 33, of Trenton, pleaded guilty to second-degree
racketeering before Superior Court Judge
Thomas Kelly in Mercer County. She admitted
that she conspired with others to distribute
narcotics. She faces a sentence of six years
in state prison under her plea agreement.
She is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan.
22.
Khalfini
Richardson, 36, of Trenton, pleaded guilty
to second-degree conspiracy to distribute
cocaine before Judge Kelly. He faces a sentence
of five years in state prison when he is
sentenced on Jan. 9.
A
third Trenton resident, Capital Wellons,
23, of Trenton, was sentenced today by Judge
Kelly in connection with his May 23 guilty
plea to third-degree conspiracy to distribute
crack cocaine. The judge sentenced Wellons
to three years in prison, but suspended
the sentence in light of the approximately
300 days that Wellons has already served
in jail in this case.
Supervising
Deputy Attorney General Mark Eliades, Chief
of the Division of Criminal Justice Gangs
& Organized Crime Bureau, handled today’s
hearings. The three defendants were indicted
in September 2007 along with 20 other individuals,
including the two alleged leaders of Sex
Money Murder in Mercer County and the alleged
leader in Monmouth and Ocean counties.
The
Mercer County leaders, Antonio Merritt,
28, and Bobby Williams, 28, both of Trenton,
previously pleaded guilty to first-degree
racketeering. When they are sentenced in
December, Merritt will face a sentence of
12 to 15 years in prison, and Williams,
a sentence of 12 years.
The
indictment stemmed from a cooperative investigation
by the New Jersey State Police, Division
of Criminal Justice, U.S. Attorney’s
Office, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration,
FBI, Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office,
Mercer County Sheriff’s Office, Monmouth
County Prosecutor’s Office, Ocean
County Prosecutor’s Office, Asbury
Park Police Department, Dover Township Police
Department, Ewing Police Department, Freehold
Borough Police Department, Jackson Township
Police Department, Lakewood Police Department,
Long Branch Police Department and Trenton
Police Department.
A
second indictment obtained in September
2007 charged 11 more gang members in North
Jersey, including all members of the three-person
state leadership committee of Sex Money
Murder.
