I think its particularly sad because he went to prison for over 30 years for basically nothing. Was he an alter boy? No. But not being an alter boy doesnt warrant you going to prison for a day never mind 30 years. Bottom line, it was wrong.
The RICO act is here to stay because they use it to target gangs, terrorist groups, etc. They can't just pick and choose who they use it against. If it applies, it applies. Bottom line is, don't associate with criminals enough to where you could be linked to an organization with them.
