Say by some chance Tony survives his night at the diner and Carlo goes through testifying to save his son. How much time will Tony be looking at once he goes to trial? What charges can possibly be thrown his way? If Carlo can verify Ray Curto's and Eugene's recordings, then Tony is screwed beyond belief.

As a contemporary of Tony's, Johnny Sac was head of a family, and he went to the poorhouse with his trial even with 6 Mill in the bank.

Tony doesn't have that judging by the last episode, not by a long shot.

So does Tony beat the case, get 30 to life, or cooperate.
