I think gigante was the master of insulating himself ..on his gangland biography his prosecutor actually had the nerve to say you couldn't convict him with meaningful evidence ..he was convicted solely on the words of killers who were testifying for their freedom ..does anybody here seriously believe that a man like gigante who took so many precautions would tell gravano the first time he met him that ''he put many years into this crazy act ?? The government knew that was a lie and yet they just railroaded the guy ..hey if you're a criminal, take your punishment, but i know this, with that weak of a case against gigante, if he had ben a middle eastern money man with terror ties, they would have said there wasn't enough evidence to bring to trial !!
