CHATTANOOGA - Two leaders of the Skyline Bloods gang were found guilty of first-degree murder on Friday afternoon in the retaliation slaying of Adrian Patton. Michael Daniels and Timothy Evans both face life prison sentences.

They were found guilty of pre-meditated first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Daniels was also found guilty of unlawfully carrying a weapon. Evans had told the jury he was ordered to kill Patton by Daniels, who believed that Patton was involved in firing shots at his sister's residence.

Prosecutor Neal Pinkston said, "This case shows there is a gang problem in Chattanooga. Hopefully, these verdicts, which carry life prison sentences, will send a message to gang members." Members of the Patton family rejoiced outside the courtroom. The victim's aunt, Gloria Griffin, said, "We've waited two years for this. They got what they deserved. He was killed for nothing."

SAN FRANCISCO - Even as same-sex couples across California begin making plans to tie the knot, opponents are redoubling their efforts to make sure wedding bells never again ring for gay couples in the nation's most populous state.

A conservative group said it would ask California's Supreme Court to postpone putting its Thursday decision legalizing gay marriage into effect until after the fall election. That's when voters will likely have a chance to weigh in on a proposed amendment to California's constitution that would bar same-sex couples from getting married.

The Republican-dominated court's decision, which cited a 1948 California Supreme Court decision that overturned a ban on interracial marriages, swept away decades of tradition and said there was no legally justifiable reason why the state should withhold the institution  of marriage because of a couple's sexual orientation.
