Salvatore “Sammy the Bull†Gravano — who helped put John Gotti and many Gambino soldiers behind bars — is now helping his former associates get out of prison.
Gravano, who confessed to involvement in 19 murders, was released from prison last year after doing 15 years for dealing ecstasy.
Now he’s claiming that Frank “Frankie Loc†Locascio was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 1992 for the murder of mobster Louis DiBono.
Gravano said he never testified that Locascio was innocent because no one ever asked.
“But if I ever have to testify in court,†he told Gang Land News columnist Jerry Capeci, “I’ll tell the truth, just like I did every other time I was on the witness stand.â€
Gravano also persuaded the feds to drop a murder charge against Danny Fama, and got reduced sentences for John “Jackie Nose†D’Amico and Louis “Big Lou†Vallario in other cases.
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

Sammy's going to get his whole crew out and take back Bensonhurst.

This will be interesting. The Bull is Frank's big hope of getting out of prison, but will Frank and his lawyers accept it and will the authorities and judge allow it?

Brilliant idea by tore worth a shot. Bet he reached out to the reality tv daughter and sent 25k before, 25k after. Sammy ain’t had big money for years so he obviously hungry for it. And genuinely it seems frank didn’t deserve life for listening to ramblings

Could you imagine what a gamble a lawyer would make to ask sammy the bull on the stand is my client responcible for dibonos murder. Ya rite sammy would have said hes not. He would have said yep
