Lucchese Crime Family News Footage from 1988

This is the trial "Find Me Guilty" is based on. Lol, turns out that years later they found out they had gotten to the jury anyway and bought themselves an aquittal.

That find me guilty film is shite. The guy Vin Diesel is terrible

True. Still the real life version is an interesting story.

What are you talking about? That was Diesel's best performance by far. Sidney Lumet film.

Good clip. What a different world it was back then, huh?

Any big names in that clip?

Where's Gaspipe?
Where's Vic?

Or is that the people who almost felt the wrath of the best mafia command EVER!........"Whack Jersey!"

Acceturo is in the clip. Taccetta as well. I think scoops licata is the one in the glasses near the beginning but I may be wrong.

Just the Jersey faction of the family.

Truly awful performance by a terrible actor.

Feels like fifteen minutes ago to me .

Anyone got some info for how things turned out for these guys in the vid? I know some are dead by now, others flipped i guess.

A few are still around. In fact, most of those guys in the background have legit jobs.
The ones that dont are locked up.

The book the boys from New Jersey is a great read

So my guess is the fbi let the earners go and earn and locked up the ice cold killers ?

Huh? All the guys on this trial were let off except for DiNorscio, but that's because he was already serving a drug sentence, so while he won the case, he still went back to prison. And I'm willing to bet plenty of these guys were ice cold killers, I know the Taccetta's were. But they had bribed the jury in this case, I think one of the jurors was a relative of one of the defendants and he somehow got to a couple of the other jurors. This didn't come to light until years and years after the fact though.

The hairstyles. My God the hairstyles.
