A member of the MS-13 gang pleaded guilty in New York to a series of charges related to eight murders in the state, and is now expected to be sentenced to several decades in prison.
Alexi Saenz entered a plea in a federal court in Central Islip and will hear his sentence in January of next year. Speaking through a lawyer, he admitted to ordering or approving the killing of rival gang members and other people who had clashed with members of his gang clique. He mainly answered a series of yes or no questions from the judge about the plea deal and the crimes he admitted to.
