NEWARK, N.J. — Three men and three teenagers were indicted Monday on murder and other charges for the execution-style slayings that shocked New Jersey's largest city more than a year ago.
The grand jury charged all six suspects, who have reputed links to the MS-13 street gang, with murder, attempted murder, robbery and weapons offenses related to the Aug. 4, 2007 killings.
Essex County Prosecutor Paula Dow said the indictments took a year because charges against the three teens were upgraded from juvenile to adult court, and because multiple agencies worked together to make sure the case was airtight
Those indicted were Rodolfo Godinez, 25; his 17-year-old brother, Alexander Alfaro; Jose Lachira Carranza, 29; Melvin Jovel, 19; Shahid Baskerville, 16; and Gerardo Gomez, 16. Baskerville and Gomez were both 15 at the time of the killings.
The six suspects are accused of killing Iofemi Hightower, Terrance Aeriel and Dashon Harvey. The three were college students hanging out behind the Mount Vernon School when they were killed.
-Snip-
The outcry over Carranza, an illegal immigrant who was out on bail at the time of the killings despite facing separate assault and child rape charges, led to a directive from the state Attorney General that revamped bail policies for illegal immigrants.

PING
The infection needs to be killed.
Too bad New Jersey abolished the death penalty. Now the good taxpayers of the State of New Jersey will have to cloth, feed, and care for this scum for the rest of their natural lives.
This is so damn infuriating. Wake up President Bush. Wake up John McCain. Wake up Congress. WAKE THE F*** UP!
BACKSTORY Asst Prosecutor Margarita Rivera and Superior Court Judge Thomas Vena are the PC nitwits who freed killer Carranza.....(just helping out one of their own---snicker).
Prior to the killings, Judge Vena aided and abetted the release of child rapist Carranza (in custody charged with 32 counts of child rape). Carranza’s release was encouraged by Asst prosecutor Margarita Rivera who was handling Carranza's child rape cases--RIVERA WAS FULLY AWARE OF THE CHARGES.
CAUGHT ON TAPE Video aired on MSNBC-TV showed Judge Vena asking Carranza for his SS #. Carranza lies (to game the system), "I don't have it." On-camera, Rivera clearly facilitates Carranza's lies----Rivera chimes in that child predator Carranza didn't have a SS #.
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
Even dummies like Vena and Rivera must know Killer Carranza has several SS #'s and multiple identities to defraud the US government to collect numerous tax-paid benefits (a common practice within the illegal latino underground).
Newark prosecutor Paula Dow should have done the job she gets paid for---to protect the public from criminals. Dow should have overruled Rivera and kept Carranza locked up.
QUESTION After the brutal killings, why didn't Mayor Corky Booker kick Rivera and Vena and Dow out of the justice system? These people corrupted the system and let killer Carranza roam free.
Dolts with law degrees. The rancid odor of affirmative action fouls the air.
