An alleged San Francisco gang member convicted of three murders will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.
A federal judge sentenced 26-year-old Dennis Cyrus on Friday to three life terms, all without the possibility of parole.
Cyrus was convicted last year of killing Joseph Hearns, Randy Mitchell and Ray Jimmerson in 2002 as part of a gang that was active in San Francisco's Western Addition neighborhood.
Prosecutors say the Page Street Mob gang went after rivals and defectors to protect its drug business. Six other alleged gang members were previously convicted and sentenced.
Prosecutors had sought the death penalty against Cyrus, but a jury decided against that sentence.
Cyrus's lawyer, John Philipsborn, tells the San Francisco Chronicle he plans to appeal his client's convictions.
