ya when the rizzutos ran things they always made everyone take pleas to keep the publicity down and canada has such low sentences and u only serve 1 sixth if its a non violent offense
so they would send there tom hagen like lawyer/consiglieres to visit the defendants in cases and lay it6 quit for them i remember a quote from sixth family about an assciate in a drug smuggling case who wanted to take it to trial the lawyer told him "don`t make beating this case the worst day of your life"
