A Mexican Mafia Killer Talks about Organized Crime

Rene "Boxer" Enriquez was a hit man and a powerful figure inside La Eme, the Mexican Mafia, which began as a prison gang and now exerts remarkable influence, not just in the prisons, but on the streets. He’s serving time for two murders, but he's embraced law enforcement, and now he's telling his story. Also, the Metrolink crash and the engineer's cell phone.
