People now seem to think it was a sanctioned hit so the interesting question to ask is who sanctioned it? Seems to me it had to have been one of 3 people, Ligambi, Merlino or Mazzone.

I doubt Ligambi because he was on trial and it happened right as the case was going to the jury. So i think it was either Merlino or Mazzone or maybe both that gave Nicodemo the ok to take DiPietro out.
