I think the strength of tony nick's flipping would the possibility of the momentum it would cause. Grande would go down immediately (as the triggerman) along with some other ancillary guys. Maybe that would be enough to bring a case against merlino, uncle joe or maybe lucibello. Or maybe some other evidence exists out there on the two murders that we don't have because they never filed charges.
Spot-on, Nicky. Nicodemo wouldn't be a very credible witness after being convicted of first degree murder. What the higher ups would have to fear, if anything, is the domino effect that rats create.
Pizza boy, historically doesn't mean shit. Its all about recent years. Most jurors realize that the country has bigger problems that 70 year old bookmakers with vowels at the end of their names.
You're right. People don't give a shit about 70 year old bookmakers. I certainly don't. But jurors still care about murderers, no matter what their age, and no matter what their name is. Look no further than Bobby Vernace here in New York. He's almost 65 and he just got convicted of a thirty year old murder.
