Teenagers with gang ties sentenced for beatings in Henrico | Richmond Times-Dispatch: "Mentor Bislimi of the 2100 block of Cool Brook Drive and Kirkland Morris of the First block of Chase Gayton Terrace, both 19, will serve 10 years and seven years, respectively.
Bislimi was convicted of participating in a criminal act benefiting a gang, gang recruitment and two counts of assault by mob. Morris was convicted of two counts of assault by mob and a single count of criminal conduct benefiting a gang.
Bislimi acknowledged to investigators his association with the Crips gang and was described yesterday as the person who orchestrated and ordered beatings of people in the Nottingham Green and The Cloisters areas of western Henrico near Quioccasin Station Shopping Center.
Other gang members testified in hearings last year against Bislimi and Morris and were sentenced to 12-month jail terms. One victim was beaten and then kicked in the head; he temporarily lost the use of an arm and suffered a broken cheek bone. The beatings help elevate the status of participants, testimony has shown.
Morris was a Bloods member, a rival of the Crips', but he and Bislimi had been friends since childhood and apparently cooperated with each other, according to testimony last year."
