At this point in the case everyone is has taken or is taking a plea and there is no mention about him going trial, the only logical conclusion is that he already resolved his case.
Delucia was mentioned and the very next week or two G.L. recanted the story.

No way this was allowed to circulate this long if it were not true.

The story makes sense they had him on a murder beef was looking at a life sentence.
Makes no sense that he would flip over a few years.
