The Valley's top gang-crime prosecutor says he has a 100-percent conviction rate on the crimes he's prosecuted as a result of a year-old anti-gang effort. Since the announcement last August of the formation of the multi-jurisdictional grand jury, part of a federally funded anti-gang initiative, more than 80 men, women and juveniles have been indicted and convicted on gun, drug, gang and other criminal charges, both in state and federal courts. It's having an effect. Many gang members are now less apt to show their colors and are downplaying their affiliation with gangs.
