I donno.. just my .02

I remember that trial like it was yesterday, Frank. That was a freak of nature. Jackie DiNorscio was one of a kind. And Michael Crithley put on the defense of his life (which is really saying something because he's an absolute pro).

It should also be noted that almost everyone acquitted at that trial won the wrath of the Feds and was reindicted and convicted somewhere down the line. At one point the Taccettas were considered to be teflon. And look what happened to them.
