I don't think he was. First, because of the reason you pointed out - he was in the line of fire. Who's going to pull up to a curb knowing a gun shot will be coming in their direction? Second, Stanfa - like Bruno - had close ties to the Gambinos. He had no reason to want Bruno killed. And third, it was pure happenstance that he even drove Bruno home that night. Can you please elaborate as to why Stanfa ended up driving Bruno home that night?

Stanfa ended up driving because Bruno's usual driver, Raymond "Long John" Martorano, was sick.
I don't think Stanfa was in on it. Stanfa was a made guy, but had no real standing in the organization...he only became a made member as a favor to the Gambino family. Really? Never knew that, what benefit did the Gambinos have in backing him for promotion?

Long John used to visit Capronigro alot in Newark. I think Long John was in on it and that scumbag Stanfa also. Do you have any evidence to support your belief about Stanfa? Why would he place himself in the line of fire?

Oh of course, I'm aware of the whole conspiracy. It's just, there seems to be some sort of concrete dialogue where Caponigro desperately points a finger at Tieri. I just never considered him going that deep in to detail about his partners. In my head I was imaging commission-dispatched soldiers going bar to bar looking for guys who know about the conspirators and are willing to sell their locations for $20. Too much Sopranos I think On the other hand, your answer makes sense. A high ranking Genovese extracting info from a man blinded by greed is an everyday thing over there. What was the make of the shotgun used on Bruno? Could be a clue.
