Pennisi just wanted to rat, he was possibly scared of eventually going to prison on something, or he was crazy.
Something tells me John Pennisi cooperating had a lot to do with all the turmoil surrounding that married girl he was dating. I think they broke up and then his capo’s brother started dating her. Shit went down hill from there.
Yes, Pennisi was lovesick over a girl. He thought Boobsie Castelle or his brother was screwing his ex girlfriend. He got one of the Perna sons jammed up because Perna's wife was friends with his ex. Don't forget Pennisi killed a guy over a girl, and knocked the girlfriend's teeth out.
