Raymond Shrimp Boy Chow took the stand in his racketeering trial Monday to proclaim his innocence and to deny he had anything to do with the two murders of rivals, reports SF Gate.
“I did not kill Allen Leung. I did not order killing Allen Leung,” Chow shouted from the witness stand.
Prosecutors said Chow killed the then leader of the Ghee Kung Tong and then took it over to run as a criminal enterprise.
“I did not order or talk about killing him. I am innocent of that, and that’s a fact.”
Chow is also accused of arranging the murder of Jim Tat Kong who was killed in Mendocino in Northern California in 2013.
