I bet Lawrence Ricci wished he had taken a plea...poor sap, found not guilty while decomposing in the truck of his car
for what its worth, I've seen a quote from a detective on the organized crime task force state that he didnt think riccis murder had anything to do with him not taking a plea, and that his murder had to do with a power shift in one of the Geneveses jersey crews. but probably it was a combination of things, maybe him refusing to take the plea was just the last straw, who knows.
