Black Mafia Family Goes Down

Atlanta, GA – Last week, 10 more indicted defendants were sentenced to prison terms for their participation in the Black Mafia Family's cocaine distribution ring, culminating an investigation by law enforcement that lasted more than five years and focused on several cities, including Atlanta. Brothers Terry and Demetrius Flenory, the ringleaders of the Black Mafia Family-or BMF-have been sentenced to 30 years in prison. Recently, Morning Edition host Steve Goss talked with Mara Shalhoup, senior writer for “Creative Loafing,” about her coverage of the BMF story.
