It was loyalty to the 35th Street Gang, a self-declared part of the West Side Crips, that got Alvey in trouble, Pullan told him.

"For that selfish, narcissistic act of bravery, you were awarded a worthless bandana and token acceptance of your criminal friends," Pullan said, then looked out at Alvey's family members in the courtroom. "The family you rejected is here. The gang family you chose instead, the one for which you were willing to commit murder, has abandoned you."

Alvey spoke only briefly at the hearing, his voice shaking.

"I'd just like to say that I'm sorry this happened," he said. "I hope Pam can forgive me, if she ever decides to. I'd understand if she didn't. If I could, I would take it all back, make it so it never happened, so we wouldn't be here today."
