A man authorities said is a member of a multi-state drug ring called the Black Mafia Family is to be sentenced Thursday, a day after nine other members were sentenced in Atlanta. One by one, for nearly nine hours Wednesday, members of the Atlanta branch of the Black Mafia Family stood before U.S. District Judge Orinda Evans to hear their sentence. All got prison time ranging from four years to more than 16 years for drug conspiracy. They also got probation once they're released. Franklin Nash is to be sentenced Thursday. Authorities said the Black Mafia Family began with two brothers, Demetrius Flenory and Terry Flenory, selling crack cocaine in Detroit high schools in the mid-1980s. Within a few years, their Black Mafia Family had moved into 11 states.
