Joe Morgan, hitman Artie Guzman (a young King Kobras gang member who later joined La EME) and Helen Mrazek (one of EME's personal bailbonds people and wife of the victim) were the accused.
CHUY BLOOD IN BLOOD OUT TRIAL
The courtroom that held the SLA trial of Bill and Emily Harris (bulletproof glass and all) was utilized for this trial. That entire trial was quite a security exercise. Tijuana Jailer had more contact with him than I as he was part of the debriefing team in 1978 who interviewed him in L.A. His ability to recall minute details was a tremendous asset in several cases and helped in the convictions (either by his testimony or by his impending testimony) in approximately 20 separate cases. I was in the court room and the tension was high.
If something happens to a member of my family, my trigger finger isn't broken". Mundo looked over at Joe and answered, "We all have families. At one hearing in the Joe Morgan murder-conspiracy case in the 1980's, he was was asked a question by the defense attorney about whether he feared for the life of his family. He had no compunction about testifying once he got over the psychological hurdle of going from a bad guy to an informant. These attributes made him just as valuable to us when he turned. Many EME members at first refused to believe he had turned and his story was unique. He was very intelligent and this made him invaluable and almost indispensible to EME. He was also very dangerous (he excelled in hand-to-hand combat) and apparently killed almost as many in the prison system as he did on the streets. Most EME members are heroin addicts and a very small percentage of them actually abstained from "the dragon". I think VNE has enough EME dropouts to start a clique of their own. I also didn't mention Thomas Duran, Artie Duran, Desi Gonzales, Rufas Pena, Ronnie Salazar and Eddie "Sailor Boy" Gonzales. (come on yo's, enquiring minds want to know!) So there you have it, Enquiring Mind. EME's two biggest defections came by way of VNE so, I think they may not be recruiting too many more from that region. (will other vatos not want to be given the placaso mundo cause because of this guy?) Actually, Mundo's former neighborhood (VNE) has a big black eye because of his turning AND Chuco Castro who is/was also a VNE gang member. (will the eme forgive his transgression for a partial sum of the profits, say 30, 000?) Even though I detect sarcasm, everybody knows that answer. (will he spend all his money on chiva?) He was a non-user. We never had the luxury of peering into any bank accounts and his assets were maintained under family members' names. and Colton among the cities he had people in) and he and Joe Morgan had a solid relationship with Jesus "Chuy" Araujo (Mexican drug lord) for several years.
Wasn't sure if you really wanted an answer but when he was taken down, he owned multiple homes (in Rosemead and Pico Rivera), was moving kilos of heroin and cocaine on a weekly basis throughout California (San Francisco, Hayward, Fresno, Visalia, L.A. I'd like to hear some feedback after you read it and digest that mountain of information contained on the CD.

But thanks to the new media and the internet we no longer need publishers to act as the filters for information. If Monster Cody Scott got his book published, the reluctance to publish this superior memoir is a mystery. I've seen earlier, hard-copy versions of the book and I can't understand why he never found a publisher. If the CD is anything like the original I read, it doesn't pull punches or cops out on anything.
He came to know and operated with the top echelon of the brotherhood and not only knows where all the skeletons are buried, he was responsible for putting some of them there. While he wasn't there at the very beginning of the Eme in 1957, he was real close. Mundo was among the first of the big dropouts. The name is, or should be, familiar to a lot of you.
