The way I see it, the power vacuum left by middle management and uncle Joe in the can is only going to bring worse criminal elements to South Philly and beyond. Why don't the Justice Department take a more rational approach here.
While an 'eager for headlines' prosecutor could stand to gain a little good press putting Uncle Joe away for 7+ (escentially a death sentence); he stands to lose alot more. If this thing blows up in Uncle Sam's face, further mafia prosecution may become harder in the future. Think about it, next time around a Judge may be more reluctant to sign off on a wire tap or a warrant.I can see it, "The last time I authorized this it took 10 years. And all you could come up was a RICO that's a glorified bookie case."
My advise to the USJD is, Don't play your hand til you got something good. At least better than this.
