These guys are gangsters but this trial is not about murder it is the Federal givernment implying that to the jurors in this case and trying to show the jurors that these are bad guys that mess up society. Did they murder those people? Probably. But this trial is based on fraud and gambling, and you can look 15 blocks North in philly and 50 blocks West and see killing everyday that continues that is far worse than what these guys are accused of in this trial. They basically have wasted 10 years and tons of money trying to get someone to flip on Ligambi for a murder charge and havent done it, that may happen with Niccodemo later on but it hasnt occured in this case
