One underworld source predicted that Nicodemo would take his chances by going to trial for the DiPietro slaying, but would cut a deal if he were convicted.
Dangerous precedent est by the judge awarding Joseph Massino 10years for 7 murders after flipping post conviction.
Now every wiseguy no matter the chances will throw the dice at trial before rolling.
History would suggest that that might not be the best strategy. The last mobster to cut a deal after being convicted of first degree murder was Willard Moran who was convicted of the murder of union boss John McCullough in 1980. Moran is still in jail.
Incorrect. Joseph Massino.
