The juror that was sick has been dismissed. This mean deliberations start all over!! Ive been sitting on a floor in a hallway for 2 weeks!! What a fucking joke!!

but what about work, brah?!

still think guilty across the board?

I wonder what the composition of the jury looks like now ... if take from Philly , would bet there are at least one or two more minorities

I want to say miss trial ! Or I want to see Not Proven ! I think this jury can't make up their mind . It is what it is ! Regardless this should be a state case across the board ! The guy Joe Vito made a Ton for years and will get a slap on the wrist ! He is. The real deal from reading the message boards and even Scaro couldn't shake him ! Now who The real LCn ? This entire case is petty ! Are the guys somewhat guilty ,Iam sure ,but let the state handle it !

The kid damion what are his exact charges an what was he convicted for before an when do you think he was made..

As of right now, yes. I am sticking to my previous prediction even though the possibility of a mistrial is increasing by the day. And yourself? Sounds to me like your really hoping one of these guys gets off so you can be happy and then say you were right and I was wrong and join the other fanboys on this thread. Sound about right to you?

@SouthPhilly13

I know it's your brother but what about work, brah?!

If not... doesn't SOMEBODY gotta be doin his collections for him?????

mafia members or not i just think the trial was all hype...waste of money and they could be going out to get real bad guys, not a bunch of brokesters taking football bets and extorting video poker machines...i just dont think the govt put forth many credible witnesses or arguments

just my opinion

i am far from a fanboy

after the trial I plan on starting a website, copying and pasting mafia articles from other news sources and then I'll call it a blog.

who's the fanboy?

What your forgetting though is..its not like thats the only stuff they were involved in...its like Capone with tax exvasion

dicknose i get your point and agree but i just believe we are wasting a lot of time...in new york they would have already walked

I bet there are a lot of widows and fatherless kids across S.Philly that wish this was just about gambling and loan-sharking.Somehow I don't feel like the last 50 mobsters in S.Philly died of natural causes.So the next time somebody says the Feds should be trying to get the guns off the street,your right but make sure its ALL the guns.

That's a fair point, DN. It's also fair to point out that some people believe in karma (for lack of a better word). Kind old Uncle Joe was a convicted murderer before some slick defense lawyers (the true gangsters) got him off on a technicality.

He likely would have died in prison if not for a miracle ten years into his sentence. So some people might take the attitude that, "Well, these charges are trumped up, but what goes around comes around."

In short, I completely agree that gamblers and debtors don't belong in prison for more than short stretches, but murderers do.


Only to a degree, Cheech. They would have walked on all of the gambling charges here in New York by now. But they'd still stand trial or plea out on the extortion. The no show health insurance is also a big deal to some people because of the timeliness of the whole thing. Half the country uninsured, Obamacare, etc.

agree Pizzaboy, all fair points

im in new haven ct...do u ever venture down here? pizza best in the world

Thanks, Cheech. You're a good man .

I stop at Frank Pepe's EVERY time I come home from Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun. And that's no Google search post. I swear on my kids I've been going to that place for over forty years.

When I was growing up in the '60s and '70s, we vacationed in Mystic every Summer for about fifteen years running. Frank's was always an obligatory stop because my grandfather went "way back" with the original owner. They recently opened a place up in Yonkers, just north of the Bronx. The food is very good, but the pizza isn't as good as the one in New Haven.

But best pizza in the world? New Haven? We're getting along great, so let's not go down that road. I'm from the Bronx. Let's stick together and have that argument with someone from North Dakota .

i know yonkers well used to go up there in my early twenties for unscrupulous reasons.

next time you head that way pm me, i'll walk you around the old neighborhood, beautiful in the summer

Brah Frank your a pig man why u asking shit like that PM him or something
