There are several other threads on this very topic, but I'll quickly weigh in, anyway.

If Michael thought Rocco was guilty of that kind of treachery, he wouldn't need to send him on a "suicide" mission. He just would have killed him. Period. Neri would have been more than happy to oblige.

As far as "redeeming" himself? There's no redeeming yourself when you betray your Don. If Rocco was guilty (and I've never seen any direct eveidence that he was), he'd be dead. End of story.


Period? End of story? I don't think so.

It's 'my oppinion' that Michael suspected Rocco's involvement and therefore tested his loyalty by sending him on that ridiculous mission.

You don't sent someone who's indentified as you're "caporegime" on a suicide mission in front of the public if you don't have a good reason for it. wink
