One of the local news crews here went to Tommy D's house out in Suffolk County. A guy answered the door with his face covered, threatening to call the cops. Neighbors of Asaro and Tommy D said the same thing you'd come to expect: Nice old guys, waved hello, loved their kids.

Interesting that Asaro has Gerald McMahon as his lawyer, who has already said his client gave him marching orders to go to trial. No plea here. McMahon loves dancing on the face of the AUSA. He represented Rom and had him walking out the courtroom a free man.
