History Channel looks at Halloween Homicides
I saw this on the History Channel the other night and realized that much of the story was built around the history of the Pasadena Denver Lanes Blood gang and their role in the Halloween Homicides.
Herbert McClain, Jr. Lorenzo Newborn and Karl Holmes were convicted for their roles in the shooting deaths of three innocent teens on Halloween night 1993. All were members of the P9 set of of PDL. They set out to avenge a shooting earlier Halloween night and throught the trick-or-treaters were members of the Altadena Block Crip gang.
I covered the original shooting and subsequently attended the entire criminal trial and both penalty phases. The History Channel treatment of the case is as good as any treatment. This is part one of five parts.
