My only debatable point in your sworn! list whilst “Roth corrupted his brother†Roth didn't “force Michael to kill Fredoâ€
ie: Michael still didn't have to kill Fredo
I started a thread on this subject a while back:
Did they have to die?Most people who responded agreed with you that Fredo didn't have to be killed. I think Fredo had to be killed
I don't disagree Fredo could be taken in by another of Michael's enemies as happened with Roth / Ola but as we debated Fredo's killing, further in -
What if appollonia didn't die ?Nobody other than Neri, knew Fredo was on borrowed time, had a Lifeline as long as Mama was alive It looked to Michael's “foes†Fredo had gotten a pass
There was no indication, Michael's “foes†tried to exploit, Fredo getting a pass [however long Mama was alive] as “a sign of weaknessâ€
