Patriarca also was framed by Rico and Barboza. His family could have joined lawsuit but chose not to. They didnt want to do anything to screw up the others case . Those guys were on death row for 6 years and only were spared when Massachusetts abolishe death penalty The FBI would have stood by and let them be executed. It was a sad era.
That's the first time I hear a theory that Patriarca was framed. The ones framed for the Deegan murder were Tameleo, Limone, Greco and Salvati. But Patriarca's and Tameleo's conviction for the Marfeo and Melei murders weren't frame-ups I think. They had the strongest motive to whack them anyway, who do you think did this if not Patriarca?
