He's still charged with one count of racketeering conspiracy, Cheech. He beat 13 of 14 charges, but because of that one charge he's technically still under indictment until the retrial.

Being that Borgesi was denied, I'll be shocked if they spring Ligambi, who's still facing more than one additional charge. So it looks like these guys will be in for at least another, what, six months to a year until retrial?

In the interim, if the Feds flip one of those other guys, they'll have plenty of time to add murder to the indictment.

This was a very hollow victory, if you can call it that. Except for Scoops. Good for him. Hats off to the guy for actually winning because a hung jury isn't enough when you're up against the Feds. They don't play fair (see how objective I can be? whistle).


yeah makes sense...sucks for Borgesi, guys in the can a dime and now is stuck again off of one charge and doesnt even get bail...seems harsh but looks like the Feds have a hard on for him...poor bastard


When Interpol?
