One of the most infamous cases in my opinion is Raymond Patriarca Sr being pardoned after 4 or 5 years of a 10-year murder conspiracy conviction. The bastard should have been fried on the electric chair, and could have been, but the tapes where he discussed all the stuff were deemed "illegal".
I am usually against the death penalty, but this mafioso is among those I hate the most.


Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:

1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."

2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."
