Federal prosecutors who are fighting Gangster Disciples founder Larry Hoover’s bid for a break on his prison sentence say a “board member” of the street gang tried to communicate with him through a coded message in a Supermax prison in which he referred to Hoover as “chief.”
In a new court filing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Grayson Walker said the 2015 message shows Hoover is still a “revered and inspirational figure” in the gang who shouldn’t be given a break on his life prison term.
“Granting Hoover a discretionary reduction in his sentence would send a shockwave through the community and embolden gang members who still look to Hoover as their inspirational leader,” Walker said in the court filing Monday.
