The authorities say the V-Nots’ crimes included murder, drug trafficking, and robbery.
Travet is one of four members who have pleaded guilty. She could be sentenced to life in prison and made to pay a $250,000 fine. If she is released, she will be subject to three years of supervised release.
In addition to dealing crack and marijuana in their territory on Syracuse’s South Side, V-Not suspect Kahari Smith is accused of
