It would not be the first time a son was clipped with the Ok from a Dad. I cannot recall who, but I want to say it has happened before in the Lucchese and Gambino families. Anybody recall who?
I recall Bobby Germaine giving the okay to kill his own son back in the early '80s. His kid was the one who gave the information leading to Henry Hill's arrest. But Germaine was just an associate, and a real low life. I can't really recall anyone in Cirillo's position agreeing to such a despicable act.
