A verified local gang leader sentenced to life in prison for ordering a 2006 murder in public housing returned to court today seeking a reduction in his sentence.

Michael "Mike Mike" Daniels is represented by Amanda Dunn in today's post- conviction hearing before Criminal Court Judge Rebecca Stern.
