Brooklyn prosecutors wrap up trial of accused gang member who plotted murder
Closing arguments began at Brooklyn’s federal court on Tuesday in the trial of an alleged Brooklyn gang member and drug dealer accused of planning the murder of a suspected federal informant.
Ronald Williams faced the jury in a blue suit and tie, looking past the prosecutors’ table piled with pounds of marijuana, guns and other evidence. Williams is on trial for murder for hire conspiracy and other violent and drug related charges.
When he got the call from a partner on April 30, 2013 to kill a suspected federal informant for $5,000, prosecutors said the East Flatbush man sprang to action.
