Anthony Nicodemo

This guy had a couple thinks going ,he had stuff in Borgta and one more casino that the feds did not bring up so i wont.But this guy is not stupid ...little pushy but stupid..So was he framed up or was he drunk ,No one in there right mind does that hit and leaves the gun on the seat of the car that 100 people saw driving away.Dont get it do u?

Very confusing to me also serpiente .. Framed ? That's hard to imagine but as you know the hit wasn't even a mile away from where he lives off packer. Have to think there was someone else involved in this thing - or could it be a solo hit? Some of the younger guys on street would be looking to make their bones on something ... think nicodemo also has family that live on iseminger.. Hit happened in the middle of the day - couldn't have been drunk I don't think at the time this thing happened .. the guy was getting into his car - couldn't have been a fight I don't think ... You are right a lot of people saw his car and think the mailman got the tag numbers they used to trace it...so believable witness...I know this has been talked about on previous threads but he's a suspect in gongs hit and maybe a couple others .. he also had an insurance gig on federal street where he was picked up on wiretaps

yes u right but no one in there right mind would do that,Come on that is his life how does he f it so bad...i cant get it,this is what he does for a living.

I bet he wasn't the only guy in that car. Maybe the guy he was with was on his first hit and is he who fucked up.

yea maybe just cant get over it,,,like they put it on the seat and call the cops

It is highly unlikly he was the shooter,he may plea out to void a life sentence

i agree, and I bet the shooter or his partner is shitting bricks waiting to see if and when Nicodemo starts singing!

I think the grande kid was taken in for questioning. He's been away for 9months or so - he has court dates coming up but not sure when or if the trial is actually set yet ..

This hit happened durin Mazzone watch and during a mayor trial. I'm sure those guys are not very pleased with the hit. Maybe Mazzone wanted them to stay in. Anything is possible in the city of brotherly love!

Maybe hit was out of Steve hands anyone think Joey order it?

That's possible too! it just doesn't make sense. Broad daylight, during a trial. There has to be some kind of doublecross thing going on!

Pretty good article

http://articles.philly.com/2013-03-14/news/37685393_1_anthony-nicodemo-grand-jury-iseminger-street

Did you see his mug shot Serpiente? He looked yipped out of his mind. He probably went off all coked up.

Yes just cant put my finger on it ..it will come,a snake knows a snake

no i did not see it ,but one of my guys would bring him around my spot and he was not right..may be thinking it could of been coke..

That was a hit. He was either there to supervise it or he was the shooter. I would really be shocked if it turned out to be a beef over a parking spot or some neighborhood shit.

I hear he's pretty convinced he's going to beat the case at trial. I don't know if it's true or not but someone said he's actually turned down a couple pretty good plea deals. May be bullshit though.

Who said that? What did they offer him?

Just local neighborhood talk as far as i know. I can't vouch for it and say it happened but thats what some local guys who know him said to me.

I don't think they have a witness that puts him at the scene. The car was id'd but i'm not so sure he was. When the cops went to his house he wasn't in the car. So nobody as far as i know has actually said he was at the scene of the murder and can prove it.

Then someone else said he just visiting his mom and saw DiPietro. Supposedly he just snapped but i think thats bullshit. I'm convinced it was a hit.

I know but what is deal that he was allegedly offered? 15? 20?

Question, are there any street cameras near were it happened? Nowadays they are everywhere. If there is one he/they are fucked!

A second degree and the possibility of even a third degree charge. "IF" thats really true then the case might not be as airtight as the cops have said. If they had an airtight case for murder 1 they would go for it.

Anyone know if a trial date has been set?

I don't think so bean shooter with cameras - I've never seen any around that corner but maybe some up in Oregon street or maybe at a park around the corner but not on the street..
I read on here that the ballistics matched the gun in his car but the powder test did not match on him ... Again could be bs

Don't think trial date has been set - all pre trial stuff until now

Thanks Joselevens

Haven't heard anything about security cameras.

But they did pick up the hit on Joe Chang and not sure if it's true but years back there was a story about a distant local security camera maybe picking up 2 or 3 guys going into or leaving Johnny Gongs house. Just wasn't clear enough to id anyone though. But i never heard the cops say it so thats another one of them possible bullshit stories you hear going around. It might of been in City Paper, but i'm really not sure. Anyone else hear that about the hit on Gongs?

2nd degree? I think 2nd degree is life in pa. Whatever the case, if its less than 30 he should take it. Hell do half of that state time.

Didn't hear that about the gongs hit ..
I wouldn't be surprised if the mortarano hit was picked up on something - happened near Washington square which I can see having plenty of cameras in there...
Gongs and bro were supposedly involved in the long john hit - when he was looking to take things over after getting out

Jose i think Nicodemo is one of the suspected triggermen in that hit too. In broad daylight, in public, ambush the target. A little bit like the shooting of DiPietro.

Any other high profile murders for nicedmeo?

Didn't he get made right after the hit on Martorano? Or am i confusing him with someone else?

I heard a rumor that DiPetro was running his mouth around town that Nicodemo was the shooter on the Johnny Gongs hit and thus he was silenced. Anybody else hear this too?

I did hear that DiPietro had info on a hit but i'm not sure which one. Could of been either Martorano or Gongs.

Heard he had info on the gongs hit and may have been playing both sides with the Feds - very likely he was talking a little too much and was getting silenced..dipietro was in and out of trouble with drugs and may have been using information as leverage...
The other person they think involved on the gongs job was canalichio who just got another stiff sentence..

I think Virgillio's name was tossed around too on the hit on Gongs. In one article they referred to him as "Twitch".

So if Nicodemo flips the feds should resolve all unsolved hits.

Nicodemo probably does know the details about everything that went down under Ligambi. Dame's name gets tossed around alot too but i really don't know what these guys know or don't know.

Nicodemo must know plenty that has happened under Uncle Joe ... He got made under joe , lives down the street from joe (except for now) and took orders from joe for a long time . I'm sure he kicked up good money to joe from the gambling operations in Atlantic city and around philly.

I read Nicodemo might be one of the few philly guys that actually has a few bucks....well at least he did before the arrest. I hear he's into Real Estate or some shit. Said he owned a decent amount of property.

I don't think Nicodemo thinking that he can beat the charge is all that crazy. Remember this is a state murder charge not a federal rico. Something Nicodemo said on wiretap about bookimaking back in '07 doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is if on that day did he shoot Dipietro. Bringing in Monacello and having him say that hes a mob member won't matter. No eye witnesses to the crime, now the gun was found in his car but im sure his lawyers can conjure up something that could at least make going to trial not a long shot. If the gun wasn't in his car and I don't know why it wasn't than no case, I wont be surprised if the state offers him 7-10 years before trial.

7-10? I don't know Bobby. The fact is the gun was in his car, and that car was the same car spotted by an eyewitness leaving the murder scene. If they offer him 10 years, he should consider himself as lucky as someone who hit the mega millions jackpot.
Also, even if he was stupid enough not to take a plea deal and went to trial and by some act of God beat the case, double jeopardy does not apply to the feds picking up state acquittals. Meaning they could try him for the murder in federal court after his state acquittal, which if he was lucky enough to get, the feds would 100% do.

The feds could only bring the murder into a rico, killing your neighbor isn't a federal crime, killing your neighbor as part of a racketeering conspiracy is.

And the feds haven't exactly been tenuous in the past to fold murders into a major rico against against the mob.

Anyways I didn't know his car was id'd but Who knows if that guy wants o testify now knowing he fingered a mob hit. All im saying is he should take a plea but he has some glimmer of hope at trial.

Until someone flips that certinatly isn't happening.

Agreed. But 7-10 aint happening. If I was him and they offered me 25 id take it. Hed be out in 12-15.

Do you think that postal worker that id'd the guy was like oh shit when he realized what he just did?

He has $1 million worth of real estate. Was definitely no brokester.

I think someone got the tag number. But the question is can anyone id Nicodemo and put him in the car at the time of the shooting and the witness getting his tag? If not then they can always claim some off the wall bullshit like he's being framed. But if they do have him id'd at the scene then i'm not so sure why he thinks he's going to beat the case.

He's very well known to the philly cops and i would bet got pulled over and harassed frequently. So i don't think he normally drove around with a loaded 357 magnum in his glove box. Could be wrong though.

Your right Ted, i remember they mentioned a million in the article i read on him.

Forgot to say that i don't think Nicodemo was actually the shooter. I think he was there to supervise the hit and was the driver. I think someone else actually pulled the trigger. Not positive but i think he tested negative when they tested his hands, arms and clothing for gun powder residue. It's called a parafin test.

Yeah his lawyers can come up with whatever they want, don't mean its gonna work. Shit they could say Santy Clause was the shooter and rudolph drove the getaway car but don't mean the jury gonna buy it.
They have a shit ton of evidence on him including the weapon. IF they offered him a deal to plead out, he shoudl take it.
Whether he was the shooter or not dont make one iota a difference. Aiding an abetting a murder is the same for all intents and purposes.

In jersey once your indicted i think you get full discovery and the prosecution has to turn over the evidence. Not sure about PA though. But when his lawyer see's what they really have is when he'll know if the case is winnable or not.

Agreed Vinnie, under the law the driver is just as guilty as the shooter. Or anyone else that participated in the murder in pretty much any way if they knew ahead of time.

Why are the offering him a deal at all? They have the murder weapon for god's sake. And as vinnie said anyone involved in the conspiracy is guilty of murder 1 period regardless of what they actually did.

Nicky have you seen any filings on the case?

Nicodemo came into the mob 20 years to late, back than you could bang banged in the street not anymore.

No, I would actually have to write the court to get documents. There is no PACER. And if there anything vaguely confidential or ratting going on- its a sealed record.

Is it sealed?

Nicky we really won't know the deal with this case until the prosecutions evidence is disclosed. Or if his lawyer discloses the evidence publicly after full discovery is made. If they really are offering him deals then that tells me it's not a rock solid case against him. But again we really don't know whats going on. Just rumors from different people.

As far as i know they have the car id'd but not him and they have the murder weapon. I'd like to read the ballistic test done on the gun. I heard they only have fragments of the bullet not an intact round. But again that might be bullshit, i really don't know what the real evidence is. And also the paraffin test was said to have came back negative on Nicodemo.

See what happens when there is no R.I.C.O. And when no one rats..and yes this guy worked and made some money..not like most of the Phillys soldiers...

this may sound like an aged old question and I kind of understand the reason but this hit took place back in December of 12' with Nicodemo taken in right away . Whatever happened to the right to speedy trial..I'm not that familiar with the ins and outs of the justice system...there was a court meeting yesterday with another scheduled for early September but when will there be a trial for this? It's not like they are putting together a huge Rico case ... I don't know - just wondering

You can waive your right to a speedy trial which im sure his lawyers advised him of doing. This gives them time to formulate a defense and also now they also can see all the evidence the state has before going to trial. If Nicodemo went to trial right away his defense wouldn't of been ready and all the state had to do was be like gun used in murder was in his car, his car was seen blah blah and he would've lost, but now by waiting he can get a better defense, so while the right to a speedy trial seems like it helps a defendant, continuing the case as long as you can will give you a better shot at trial, but if you're sitting in jail that whole time it may influence your decision, overall though you have a better shot at waiting as long as you can so you're ready for whatever the state has to throw at you.

Next court date tomorrow

Anything big happen today.

They still havnt released a motive.for why nico.wanted to murder this guy. It wasnt a santiond mob hit this is were maybe a plea bargin comesin 15 yrs say I have no clue how there state hands out time or do you do 1/3 1/2ect. Or maybe he flips like 90percent of the forum was thinking.

Sources say he was mic'd up - maybe broadcasting the gongs hit or mortarano - dipietro was also involved in the powder so who knows ... Are you sure it wasn't sanctioned ? I'm not

has Nicodemo flipped yet?

He won't turn - going to try and beat the trial ... Trial date May 2014

He may plea out

made men doing hits in their sisters car

that's interesting

Could it be that Nicodemo is just dumb and it is a basic drug beef or domestic thing over a chick in some way and this is how this guy solves it. I mean I heard that Dipeitro told on Niccodemos brother 10 years earlier so that could be an angle but....to take him out in the middle of the day like that equals STUPIDITY.... Everything you read or hear states that Dipietro was clean and out of the game after prison but of course when you hear all one sided how great a guy is, it tends to be the opposite. Never met the dude and he was part of a at one time successful book at the Borgata, not sure if he was the brains behind it or not but this killing is just out there. Technology and cameras and stuff today leads to cameras everywhere that may be grainy but at 3 pm in s philly in a busy neighborhood it just sounds like the guy has rocks for a brain

He's going to flip IMO. I'm giving him credit for being mildly intelligent despite his debacle. He's got enough goods on the whole philly crew to milk a nice govt witnesss salary for life. At this point, I guess it probably depends on how much support he's getting from the local hierarchy. I'm sure they're his best friend right now, but its up to him to figure out if it's worth it.

There has to be a camera either somewhere on that street, or a camera showing him getting there or another cameras showing him leaving. He had to have been with someone else.

Yea Bean, does anyone know if nicodemo was a friend of Domenic Grande or his dad,this may be a piece of the puzzle..

Serp- the young domenic grande? I'm pretty sure he's somewhat close to nicodemo.. If I'm not mistaken grande was involved with nicodemo in the borgata sports betting thing.
Does anyone know if dom grande is made? I saw pics of him recently with mazzone and chang and them, all dressed up.

Serp and Dsbaloo, According to the Steffanelli tapes, which was recorded a few years ago, Domenic was going to be straightened out. They were tight and i think he was involved in the Borgata scam. Maybe he was there to make his bones?
http://articles.philly.com/2009-02-28/news/25282206_1_bookmaking-ring-poker-lounge-investigators

Yeah I heard dom and nicodemo are close. They were both in on borgata and I also heard that dom got taken in for questioning on this hit.
I heard both that he's made and that he isn't. I personally think he has a button now. Have you guys seen the pics with him, mazzone,chang,narducci and wagner?

I'm very familiar with the area - no cameras unless maybe in the parks around the corner but they wouldn't pick it up ... Nico and Grande are close and Don was brought in but that was the extent - Nico is standing up right now - we'll see for how long ... the post office worker is the key to everything - he identified the car and tag

YEA Dsbaloo This Andrew lived down by my neck of the woods he was rolling in cash,
Running around in a convertible Rolls Royce ,bad ass car and top of the line one,the bigger motor the nicer sound system.300,000.00

He had several businesses around here,including a restaurant in Ventnor, I know what was going on because one of my laborers worked there at night.
He would say that some of the guys in the Borgata thing were there often ,the mother ran the place when he was out doing the book stuff..
This laborer would say things but it would go right over my head till he said that he could get a bet in to another employee ,that when i started paying attention.

These guys are all doing Oxycodone ,bags of them ,he said they would crush 10..30,s and put them in lines and snort.

So it is not just coke these guys are doing ,they are going up and down..

From what i see you can,t pick that shit up and just put it down,and if you are snorting 100 plus mil.at a shot there is a lot more going up your nose.

Guess what i am saying that these guys may be junkies,and if you are that FFF up you do stupid shit..

Have you got the photo's, would be great if you could upload them.

Any updates? Looks like its just going to trial.

Where Is a photo of mazzone Chang narducci and Dom Grande? If there even is one, why haven't we seen it sooner is what I'd like to know?!?"

Jesus Christ you guys lie about everything. Andrew had a high end benz or BMW 100,000 tops. Never did drugs hardly drank and when he did it was Dom P, Nicademo never did coke in his life maybe smoked pot here and there. You guys have no clue. SERP you been exposed on 3 threads now give it up. you really dont know what you are talking about. These "famous" pics you are talking about are prob from a wedding or a christening I would guess. I know all these guys, you kitchen bitches have enough to talk about without making shit up.

Life : I have made it a point not to respond to people like you. I don,t know where you live ,but i drove buy this place every day for two years . For a year and a half there was that RR parked there. Now a union labor that worked for me on occasions also worked there ,every day he would tell these stories to the other guys about this place he worked at night.I over herd this all the time. Then i was eating at one of my spots in A.C. and the bar tender confirmed this, He is a young guy also ,but he is in the know. (That's it)not in the mob,just a guy that hangs where some of these guys do.And by the way the cars u talked about were around also,it was a driveway that held 4 cars. I still drive by there twice a day,on my way to my office,and the way home.

Now about other postsers you say that lie i have no clue.

Now as far as me all my posts are true, there a few that we were at Angeloni's drinking heavy and i would show the guys on my phone while i was posting,and they would grab the phone and fuck around type a couple things back at people.But lying no way.Now on the phone drunk trying to type and having a laugh ,Typing crazy words yes ,if i was to lie don't u think would tell the good mob stuff, why would i go out of my way to just talk about the things in my neighborhood.If i told the things that i know about the life, and the people, that did not rat or are dying in jail. I would not be writing this.

And when you hear the few guys that chime in on people, hiding behind many U.N.and find out why they do it, maybe you will get it or maybe you will join them or maybe you did join them.But the many possible thousands" that read and contribute to others on this board are the ones i am sharing with.If you have a question for me cos you know different then just ask , or P.M. If i am off or wrong i would want to know. There was just a guy the other day that told me (Beeps ) was not made when he was living down here.Now i was around this guy 3 days a week for a couple years and i thought he was made.No fucking big deal , but this guy did not go and call people liars and tell them they don't know what they r talking about.
And i do know a little about this place that he opend for those couple years,the reason i know about it is cos one of scarfos blood family had a eating spot there. I could go on and on......

If the Andrew you are speaking of is the one who was involved in the Borgata thing then yes you are way off. I will PM you and ask some questions. But in regards to all this drug abuse talk on this thread its all bullshit with the 2 guys mentioned. Like I said you can say many things that may be true but to make these guys out to be junkies is wrong and in your posts you did make it sound that way and thats why I responded the way I did.

I would not be surprised if those people were doing oxy and coke.

"Kitchen bitches". I think I'm going to adopt that as one of my new favorite words.
