Testimony Ends In Philadelphia Drug Kingpin Kaboni Savage's Federal Murder-Racketerring Trial

Veteran organized crime reporter George Anastasia is covering the federal trial of drug kingpin Kaboni Savage in Philadelphia for Bigtrial.net.

The defense and the prosecution both rested their cases today in the murder-racketeering trial of Kaboni Savage and three co-defendants, setting the stage for closing arguments to begin Monday in federal court in Philadelphia.

Savage, 38, and two co-defendants, Robert Merritt, 31, and Steven Northington, 41, could be sentenced to death if convicted of any of the 12 homicides listed in the case. The fourth defendant, Savage's sister Kidada, 30, could be sentenced to life.

The murders include the deaths of two women and four children killed in an October 2004 firebombing of a North Philadelphia rowhouse. The arson, authorities allege, was ordered by Kaboni Savage.
