I agree with Sonny. Paul's choice was dying by the bullet or in prison.

If Roy lived, feeling was that he was going to flip and bury Paul (stolen car ring case). If he didn't flip, Paul was still definitely going away on the Commission Case. Why Gambino guys thought every other don would do his time, but Paul would flip confuses me. Same question on why they thought a tough guy like DeMeo was gonna flip.

Without DeMeo, was the most violent capo Eddie Lino? And if so, was he aligned with Gotti or Paul?

Other families had a peaceful handoff of power, it seems. So, if Paul avoided getting whacked....would he have handed the reigns of acting boss to Bilotti?
