Lodi was with Leconte, who was with Gatto. There were 4 people charged in Lodi's count. You had Leconte, Howard Ross (who did time with Lodi years back), and their front guy Frank Oliver, who's wife just happens to be a judge and the former mayor of Nutley, NJ. Her name is Joanne Cocciola. Lodi was never in the garbage business and merely took on the pedophile CW as a shake-down. This pedophile Hughes went to Lodi to try and get protection from Franco. At the same time he was asking Joe Sass and his crew for protection from Franco, and then he asked Joe Sass for protection from Lodi, in addition to asking Sass for a 12,500 dollar loan.
Also, the other Franco in the case isn't Carmine's son, it's his nephew and he definitely isn't a made guy.
