Anytime someone gets arrested they get “thrown under the bus” in some way. Bottom line, Gravano didnt want to spend the rest of his life in prison.
Why didnt LoCascio testify? He had even more of a reason to do so since his case was so weak. What rats do is they bombard the public with “ their side of the story” and convince the world they really werent a rat, they were loyal soldiers who had no choice. Gravano did this through a book as did Alite and they both use social media to advance their narrative.
