This is a different situation from gotti, it was a consistent pattern of gotti having the same meetings in the same place, with merlino, it was clearly a circumstantial one time freak of nature that this happened, joey said he retired they can't prove he didnt, and he's made an legitimate effort to turn his life around, and he have tons of clean cut guys that can vouch for that. Are you kidding? The new joey wouldn't be caught dead with these guys. THERE LOSERS!
It doesn't matter. Do you know many guys have been violated for "consorting with known felons" just for having a cup of coffee in the wrong place? Everyone from Sonny Franzese to Carmine Tramunti.
So again, let's just see how things play out before making any brash predictions. Time alone will tell.
