The only argument I think you could make for paroling Orena would be, as someone else alluded to, that the Government (DeVecchio) played a role in supporting the Persico faction. Their hands were dirty too. But of course, so were Orena's. They would have been dirty whether the Government was involved or not.

I agree with majicrat - just because we're fascinated by mob culture, watch the Sopranos and can quote Scorsese movies doesn't make these cool guys, and certainly not innocent parties. This guy is responsible for taking that kid's life. Yeah, I hope he does feel bad about it, he certainly should. That's not a pass out of jail.

The wages of sin are death.
