Irish Mob Gang murder case Judge LaFortune presided over the jury trial of John Kyle Crandall, who was convicted of first-degree murder in a fatal Irish Mob gang-related shooting and he also pleaded guilty and was convicted of intimidating a prosecution witness and having contraband in his jail cell.
