Fleming "ILLZ" Daniels
Fleming "Illz" Daniels, a top member of the Black Mafia Family drug ring, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for drug trafficking on December 17, 2008. The federal judge also fined Daniels $10,000 for taking part in the violent group. Daniels was the 16th defendant indicted in Atlanta on charges stemming from their role in the organization. Daniels is the only defendant in the Atlanta indictments to go to trial, and 11 have already pleaded guilty. The government's case relied on testimony from William "Doc" Marshall and Ralph Simms to convict Daniels. Daniels had not been caught with even a single ounce of cocaine nor caught on any wiretaps discussing drug business. However, because of the testimony from Marshall that he had seen Daniels receive multi-kilograms of cocaine while he himself was picking up cocaine, the jury returned a guilty verdict.[15]
Daniels also awaits trial for the July 2004 murder of Rashannibal Drummond. Drummond, 23, was fatally shot in the Velvet Room parking lot in Atlanta after he slapped a luxury car to alert the driver not to back into him.
