Harry The Hump's guy who rotted in State Prison AFTER becoming a Federal rat was Victor DeLuca.He ended up staying in for the full length of his minimum sentence----which was 18 years---due to the fact that he'd already been sentenced when he decided to flip.Like Nicodemo,he was the driver for the attempted hit on Sal Testa.The shooter in the case only got 4 years because he flipped before he was sentenced,even though part of his deal included pleading guilty to an additional murder in which he was also the shooter.DeLuca even had a serious bout with cancer during his incarceration and still wasn't freed until his minimum was up.Harry The Hump got life,but never lost his sense of humor.When DeLuca lost his voicebox to cancer,Harry had word sent to him that it was about 10 years too late !!! I don't know if things have changed in the past 30 years pertaining to the Feds influence over State justice----you never know with all the Federal funding that goes to State corrections programs---,but if not,it wouldn't do Nicodemo any good to flip once he's formally sentenced.At most,all they'd be able to guarantee him would be a good word with the parole board to let him out for sure at the end of his minimum term.
