Death Sentence for Boy Makes Saddest Day in court
A Brooklyn born youth known as Dew Drop, aged 15 at the crime, was sentenced to die in Sing Sing for murder. Judge Sami Leibowitz called the ruling one of the saddest days of his life while two other teens received 20 years to life for their roles in the gang murder. In East Harlem a 16 year old was killed in a gun battle between Puerto Rican youth gangs.
