Gang Chief Claims Attack Was Spontaneous Slaying In New York
In Washington Heights the July 30 killing of 15 year old Michael Farmer by members of the Egyptian Dragons has led seven older teens, aged 15 to 18, to stand trial for first degree murder.

The key witness Howard Rowan testified the attack in part aimed at peace talks, though weapons were present.
