Donte McDaniel Los Angeles gang member has been sentenced to death for killing another gangster and the man's cousin

Donte McDaniel Los Angeles gang member has been sentenced to death for killing another gangster and the man's cousin in what prosecutors say was a drug dispute. Twenty-nine-year-old Donte McDaniel was sentenced Friday in Superior Court. A judge denied defense motions for a new trial and to reduce the jury's death sentence recommendation to life in prison without parole. McDaniel was convicted last April of shooting 33-year-old George Brooks and Brooks' 52-year-old cousin Annette Anderson at her Watts apartment in 2004. McDaniel was also convicted of attempted murder for shooting two other women in the apartment. His attorney John Daley said the jury thought it was cheaper to kill defendants than house them.
