why are they not charged in the indictment with these assaults? If not, why are these allegations being allow into evidence through testimony? Seems prejudicial
I'm not in the legal field but I would assume that the statue of limitations is up on the assault considering it took place in the 90's. If you ask me the whole racketeering conspiracy charge is highly prejudicial. Evidence gets introduced all the time that has nothing to do with the current charges, but has to do with the "criminal enterprise" instead. Hell, they brought up the Bruno murder at this trial. That hit took place before I was born (and I'm 31). That said, the current mob lives off of that reputation to collect so I certainly don't feel sorry for them.
