Hes going to flip and basically destroy the Philadelphia mob. I hope they all enjoyed their large prison sentences and moderate earnings. Prison is in their future. Merlino should skate off to Venezuela while he has the opportunity.
What from his past proves that he will become a rat? I'm not saying he won't, but he's toughed it out this long. This December will now be two years he's sat in prison awaiting trial without flipping yet. How many guys that have come up in the Merlino faction have become rats? Natale is the only one I can think of, and he was an associate during the Bruno days that Joey played like a sucker anyways.
And yes, the retrial won't happen until the beginning of 2015 at the earliest.
