Jerry Denono, was sentenced to life in prison in 1978 on his third murder conviction.He was a hitman for hire and he was a dapper guy but ended up as a snitch.
That's really new to me, a mafioso convicted for murder before the 80s is a rare thing.
Where did you get this information from?
This was the only thing I could find on Denono and it was from the Sun-Sentinel in 1993.
Hit Man's Request For Parole Rejected
November 25, 1993
TALLAHASSEE — A self-proclaimed mob hit man has lost his bid for parole eligibility, a lawyer for Gov. Lawton Chiles said.
Gerald Denono, 57, a government informant in the federal witness protection program, was convicted of two Florida murders. He has been in prison the past 19 years, but not in Florida.
Although he was moved out of state after his sentencing in October 1976, the clock began running on his Florida sentences immediately. He has completed a 15-year federal prison sentence for a California bank robbery and now faces a life sentence in a 1972 Nevada murder as well as two life sentences in Florida.
Denono was convicted of the 1973 second-degree murder of Renee Cotten in Broward County and the first-degree murder of Henry Poczynek in West Palm Beach.
