The federal drug and conspiracy case against Louis Antonio Bryant, the alleged drug dealer and ringleader of local gang the Westside Crew, continues into its second week of testimony on Monday, May 15. The first week prosecutors brought to the stand numerous police investigators, as well as former associates of Bryant’s who had dealt with or bought drugs from him.
Bryant first faced trial, along with three other co-defendants, back in November. A mistrial was declared, however, just before jury deliberations began, after a juror told the judge that he had heard other jurors discussing a newspaper article about the case. Since November, Bryant’s former co-defendants have entered plea agreements.—Nell Boeschenstein
