Which is now commonplace for these guys. You almost can't even get a plea bargain today without an allocution stating that you're a member of a crime family.


Yeah, even Genovese guys do it all the time. It's taking the pragmatic approach. Admit to something everyone already knows exists as part of a plea deal and do a fraction of the time. Guys like Gene Gotti are still in prison because John Gotti's ego wouldn't let them make plea deals.


Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
