Yes, but if you are going to take off you don't think about shit like that you just go away. Other guys lasted decades that way, yeah they had to live with caution but hey, I guess it's better than 2 in the brain. But Sonny was a man's man. RIP Sonny, I'll see you on the other side.
Sonny Black and Lefty were definitely Cosa Nostra to the bone. Sonny knew that he was going to his death.but he followed the rules. You get called,you go in. And Lefty took his sentence,never uttered a peep, and to his dying day swore he would "get that mother*ucker Donnie if it's the last thing I do".
Other than Lefty and Nicky Santora, (20 yrs each) all of the convictions from the "Brasco" operation
resulted in sentences of 12 yrs or less.
We will never know what Sonny would have gotten,since his body was found 12 days After his Federal Racketeering case (US. Vs Domenick Napolitano, et.al ) began.
