<article>The NYPD and Special Narcotics Prosecutor&#8217;s Office handed out indictments to the gang members based on a year-long investigation that accused GS9 members of 101 counts, including conspiracy, second-degree murder (for a 2013 bodega shooting), attempted murder (for a 2014 shooting that struck an innocent bystander) and reckless endangerment (for June gunfire outside a Brooklyn barbershop).<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GNF7ESG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&;camp=1789&;creative=9325&;creativeASIN=B01GNF7ESG&;linkCode=as2&;tag=konniemoments-20&;linkId=ea1fcf5b348f42069676f6d81fc71fb0"><img class=" alignright" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&;MarketPlace=US&;ASIN=B01GNF7ESG&;ServiceVersion=20070822&;ID=AsinImage&;WS=1&;Format=_SL250_&;tag=konniemoments-20" border="0" /></a><img style="border:none !important;margin:0!important;" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=konniemoments-20&;l=am2&;o=1&;a=B01GNF7ESG" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GNF7ESG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&;camp=1789&;creative=9325&;creativeASIN=B01GNF7ESG&;linkCode=as2&;tag=konniemoments-20&;linkId=fa54720e0015055e9e94264a3c6bc747">Gucci Men&#8217;s Black &; Gray Leather Hi Top Fashion Sneakers Shoes US 11.5 IT 10.5 EU 44.5;</a><img style="border:none !important;margin:0!important;" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=konniemoments-20&;l=am2&;o=1&;a=B01GNF7ESG" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" /><br />
NYPD Commissioner William Bratton said GS9 stood for &#8220;G-Stone Crips&#8221; adding, &#8220;This gang &#8230; gloated about murder, shooting and drug-dealing in YouTube videos and viral dance moves.&#8221;<br />
Police maintained that &#8220;the driving force behind the GS9 gang and organizing figure within this particular conspiracy&#8221; was one Ackquille Pollard, aka Bobby Shmurda. Prosecutors charged Shmurda with conspiracy to commit murder and assault, weapons possession, reckless endangerment and criminal use of drug paraphernalia. While the prosecution has not identified a GS9 hierarchy, it says his &#8220;status&#8221; made others defer to him.</p>

Pollard spent the entire trial period in jail, unable to make bail which had been set at $2 million, the same amount as his Epic contract.<br />
After the fixed seven-year term, Shmurda will be on probation for five years, according to the terms of the plea agreement worked out with the Special Narcotics Prosecutor&#8217;s office.<br />
Shmurda allegedly headed the trigger-happy GS9 crew that took on other Brooklyn gangs and ran a drug operation. He faced up to 25 years to life in prison had he been convicted at trial.<br />
Several members of the GS9 Crew have already been convicted for the same set of charges.<br />

<p>Clott, who earlier that week sentenced Rashid Derissant, 24, to 98 years in prison, dismissed Crandon’s dispassionate pleas for sympathy as he mumbled through a statement.<br />
“Please allow me the opportunity to become a productive citizen and raise my daughter to become one also,” he said.<br />
Alex “A-Rod” Crandon and Rashid “Rasha” Derissant, are the two members of the gang charged with the killing of a member of rival gang, “Brooklyn’s Most Wanted,” on Feb. 8, 2013, outside a Brooklyn bodega.<br />

Shmurda was one of 4 GS9 crew members offered the plea deal today.

A fourth defendant who was facing more charges, 23-year-old Santino (Cueno) Broderick, was offered a 15 year deal. He was overheard telling his lawyer, &#8220;Fifteen? Dang. My life is over.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;You want 80 or you want 15,&#8221; his lawyer Kevin Canfield told him, referring to how much time he could face if convicted at trial.<br />
