It was reported that he has Stage 4 lung cancer, and is so far gone he now needs end of life care. The prison does not have the medical equipment he needs, so his lawyers are trying to get him out to a hospital. He had an appeal of his murder conviction going strong, now it looks like he will not be around to see it overturned.

This is where the justice system can be idiotic. The guy is at deaths door, why keep him in prison. The 8th amendment of the constitution also protects us from cruel and unusual punishment.

If Crea would be a black or latino,he would be just free.

Let him die at his home with his family they didn't anything wrong.

I had a friend who was in a Federal prison. He wrote to me that when he went in, they told him, "We tell you when you're sick." Another prisoner who was diagnosed with cancer was told, "You can get treatment when you get out." The AZ Dept. of Corrections is in a major lawsuit because of poor or nonexistent medical treatment for inmates.

Being sick in prison has to be a terrible thing. I'm fine with Steven Crea coming home, but I'm sure the family of Michael Meldish feels differently

What about the families of the people he killed ? Can they spend time with there fathers

Michael Meldish killed plenty of people himself as well. So no I do not have sympathy for his children, fuck that shit! An eye for an eye its part of the life!

Let Steve come home and die there.

According to that logic, why then have sympathy for Steven Crea? I don't really care one way or the other what happens to these lowlifes lol

I'm just saying does it really matter if Steve Crea comes home? The people he killed were not good people to begin with so let the guy die at home if he wants.

This is where the government gets it wrong.

His conviction was a bunch of bs already. That they're keeping him locked up when there's way worse people getting out for less is just some more bs.

The same thing happened to James Marcello. He's in Supermax out in Colorado.

I know he's a mobster but there are terrorists that blew up shit in the United States that are eventually going to be released. James will never have that opportunity.

Crea is already a palliative care patient, this are his last days. What is the difference of his relatives visiting him in prison or bring him to a hospice or his home to die?

And if the family members of Meldish are good people, they will say that Steve should be placed at home and God will decide his fate when he passes. It shouldn't matter whatsoever if the guy is released during hospice care. He doesn't have any quality of life where he's going to enjoy his freedom anyway. He is bed ridden.

Would you want Stevie Crea released if you believed he had murdered your father?

The guy is suffering from Stage 4 lung cancer, I went through that with my mother the pain she was in was terrible her last weeks but she was taken care of by trained people it's only human someone get the best care murderer or not.

I feel your pain my friend, but I think you'd feel differently if Crea had hurt someone you loved dearly. To express sympathy from that vantage point is to showcase a level of empathy and forgiveness that would distinguish you as an exceptionally evolved individual amidst the broader spectrum of humanity

Would that father be involved in criminal life or an innocent man?

the point is that we live in the United States of America and that should not happen.

No doubt Crea is a bad guy, but would it hurt Meldish family if he get a human end?
I don't believe in an eye for an eye they were both in the same business.

Meldish was more violent and sadistic than Crea ever was.

. This

Crea was a saint compared to Meldish, and the same holds true for him compared to many here. He ran successful legitimate companies that employed people, he spent more time with legitimate people than gangsters, he raised a son who is a lawyer, and even if he was so bad, to take pleasure in a cancer death is sick. I don't care who it is, no one deserves that.

Crea also had a very strong case for being wrongly convicted. Sadly he won't live to go free by those means.

Sorry, he knew the rules. He didn't care when he was free and healthy. I've never had sympathy for these guys, the lone exception is Bobby Manna. To this day I think he got screwed

Meldish was a Satans spawn. Crea was nothing like him! As far as I am concerned he did the world a favor taking Meldish out.

The guy should have a fucking statue put in his memory just for getting rid of that piece of shit.

Crea is where he belongs ,

Allegedly a NYPD detective on the scene flat out said he was genuinely happy that Meldish scumbag got whacked. There are tons of horror stories floating around about the Meldish brothers. They were known to be sadistic bullies and were looked at as downright boogeymen. Michael Meldish' brother Joe was known for harassing high school kids who were dealing nickel bags of weed; plenty of tales around where he just got out of his car, stuck a gun in some kid's mouth and just took everything the kid earned that day. It's almost a miracle one of them lived to see the age of 62 and the other (arguable even worse) one is still alive and kicking.

Exactly and Im sure the rest of that fucked up family isn't any better than Mike or Joe. I have no sympathy that Crea decided to take him out.

Crea actually didn't have much if anything at all to do with the hit on Meldish. He was admin so he got RICO'd.
