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.
You beat me to it, Sonny. But only because I was eating my dinner
.
Massino gave us the blueprint for the 21st Century rat. Take your chances at trial, and if you're valuable enough you can flip after the fact.
But it won't be every wiseguy, Sonny. Only the guys who can really trade up. And something tells me that if Nicodemo can give them an ancient
Merlino murder, they'll play ball with him.
