The verdict in this one surprised me - I expected mostly guilty verdicts with perhaps a few acquittals. In any event, the government still accomplished something - these guys were off the street and spending big money with their attorneys.

It is a victory for the Philly family for sure, but if history repeats itself, as it usually does, the government will try them again on the charges that were hung, and bring in any new charges they can.


Best way to catch the smart ones? Get an idiot working for them.
