so crazy.. I thought he was fucked for sure..i thought at least something would stick and he would die in prison.. cant believe hes walking away a free man.. broke.. but free

his cousin is such a fucking scumbag for testifying against vinny..I just cant condone that no matter what the circumstances.. but to literally admit that you started wearing a wire on your own blood cause you wanted the money from the fbi is literally disgusting.

Agreed , I think everyone thought Asaro was done for , not one person thought he would walk

I thought there was literally 0 chance of him getting off.. from the katz murder the the robbery... and not to mention all the other small shit he was caught saying on tape..i wonder where he will stand now.. the family should give him some money for being a stand up guy and make him retire.
as much as an idiot or unlike he is in the family you have to give an 80 year old who is pretty much put out to pasture and cant earn shit credit for standing tall and accepting hes going to get convicted and die in prison.. then he gets found not guilty. I bet hes in fucking shock right now.
what does everyone have to say about him being found not guilty? you think jurors are finally sick of these lying informants?

cause it sure as fuck seems like there was enough evidence just from his own mouth to convict him..

from what i have read tommy hates him because of what vinny said on tape he is shelved


i am in shock though i was 100 percent sure he would get convicted on some charges

yeah bad mouthing your superior is never smart... everyone does it theyre all greedy shit talkers but most don't get caught on tape saying it.

John Gotti level blabbering

Poor Jerry , he has to be fuming in his cell right now

The govt might have to start rethinking their informant strategy right now and in all honesty that should always have been the case . How can you believe someone that lies cheats and steals every day

I am actually happy about this. That cousin is a piece of shit.

Will Asaro be released or will he still be held if the government appeal the decision?

right? I love the guys who flip and testify.. its like yeah for the last 30 years everyday of my life revolved around lying,cheating,stealing, hustling... but right now I'm telling the absolute truth.. anyone who believes that shit is honestly retarded. people who believe that are the same people who get hustled by these guys on the street. easy marks.

i no the son must be dumbfounded is that the word. like happy his dad didnt die in jail but his 8 yrs you never know. not guilty on all the coumts he plead out to. do the last of the dinosaurs give him a party they have to right. he beat the gov ugly. they can put him on the shelf nextweek. but who knows if that guy tommy d whose was the street boos but in bad health isnt in the picture no more maybe he gets to come around. how bout him telling the post reporter tell my cousin is he happy with his 3000 or some shit. what happing to the loan sharking the million dollar gold dust heist the arsons. nothing. the gov been losing alot more then i can ever remeber in trials even the philly guys to.

I love that the government got shit on by the jury. Their shitty crooked tactics failed. I'm a happy man after finding this out earlier today.

Yeah, it seems to be a trend, pmac.

Amazing. Thought he was done for sure. He says he was the last wiseguy in the neighbourhood. Was he talking about ozone park?

its like the government buys the evidence. theres not any csi shit or physical ev. i mean just government employees get up there from the witsec program after they spent the lump some 401k its nuts . this will probaly be front page picture on both papers unless rex ryan runs on the field and tackles a jet. bad look for the g. they put massino up there it probaly been the same verdict.

Vincent Asaro Found Not Guilty in 'Goodfellas' Lufthansa Jewelry Heist Trial

I didn't the see this coming, the cousin got it stuck in his ass. He lost his family over a few shekels.

video here of him speaking to media. Will he retire? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...llas-heist.html

Absolutely shocked at the outcome.

Good to see 1 of them get off..I'm surprised..He should just lay low..Feds don't like to lose.

Yeaup good for him, absolutely zero physical evidence which is huge for a jury..plus as stated above the scum baggy nature of how his cousin started ratting is pretty fuckin low....Anyone see was Valenti's kid that fat made guy think his name is Anthony, was he there?

The government has too much invested in the case, so I think he'll probably be re-tried.

He would be released, but honestly I doubt the Feds try it again. Maybe they do, but it won't be with all the charges this case had.

I thought he was done with the stuff he said on tape only, what actually helped him was the jury not trusting his cousin that was wired up talking to him (or whatever he was I haven't followed too closely)

Faithfall I don't think they can its wasn't a hung jury on any counts it was acquitted across the 14 counts. So all 14 of them crimes can never be tried again and the state won't touch it they like the big feds having egg on there face. It is kinda shocking. I thought he was going down but its cause all I hear is from pro government reporting so you never hear the other side of the case but the shitbag cousin running amock on the gov. He won he gets a free section 8 voucher some cash lotto. Nah watch the gov not go to bat at his sentencing he gets 5 yrs or something.

pmac is right, matter of fact I was coming back here to post that myself after I realized that

Double jeopardy comes in to play on the murder charge. They could always come back with "violating his civil rights" or some shit like that. They have to change the charge to have any chance of coming back after him, but after cases like in Philly with Uncle Joe, etc. and now this I just don't see them wasting time with many other mafia cases unless they are caught dead to rights.

Wow I thought he was finished.


Congrats to him I guess, he managed to beat the G and his cousin, I'll say that. I won't say I agree with the verdict, but hey, I wasn't in that deliberating room.

Last note on this till there's some new articles or so. His lawyers were 2 females+ public defenders also Italian by just looking at there last name and taking a guess. Just no experience so I didn't think he had a shot. But I was wrong . read capeci wrote it was all females the judge the prosecutors and defense. I just thought he was trying to go with that guy mcmchon or some guy aggressive maybe cutler style. But them dudes want to much money. But those 2 lawyers's can put that on there website and get the clients coming. Tommy shots lawyer I think white plains DUI specialist 1thing you see he beat 6 murders.
