Agreed. By these standards then NOBODY should ever gain a compassionate release.

The guy's as old as Methuselah, has done decades upon decades behind bars, is currently extremely ill and infirm, poses a "danger" to absolutely no-one, the Grim Reaper is closely hovering around his deathbed...and at the end of the day (as you so succinctly stated majicrat) the "alleged" murder conspiracy never even materialized or ever went nowhere. Neither Gotti had a single hair touched on their coiffed heads. So WTF?

And it was a draconian, shot up "to the moon" unfair sentence to begin with. But thats the feds and G sending a statement. Thats all that is!

If his last name was Horowitz, Murray, or Johnson, we wouldn't be having this chat. But "mala fortuna" (in this case at least), his surname Manna ends in a vowel.
