Last Friday afternoon that jury found Hoover and six cohorts guilty of narcotics conspiracy. Though sentencing may not take place for several weeks, the verdict could consign Hoover--already serving a 150-to-200-year sentence for murder--to a maximum-security federal penitentiary for the rest of his life, without possibility of parole and, equally important, cut off from almost all communications. His conviction was the capstone of an eight-year effort by federal prosecutors to break up the Gangster Disciples, the Chicago-based street gang that for more than two decades has controlled some of the most lucrative...

She told TIME, "They felt they had done enough outside investigation to sit down and corroborate what they'd found out with...
...House debate over juvenile crime. On a 286-132 vote the House overwhelmingly passed a Republican-sponsored bill that would try juvenile crime offenders as adults. Under the bill, children between the ages of 14 and 18 would be subject to adult punishment for crimes such as rape, murder, armed robbery and drug trafficking.
