Patrick Penny.

That's a good one to recall on the occasion folks want to recall what a 'stand up guy' etc Gaggi was. He was a verrry lucky piece of shit he wasn't killed by that off-duty cop after the Eppolito hits, for starters...

There's a great book to be written JUST about the Patrick Penny killing but I highly doubt it could be done; you'd have to find Penny's family, the D.A.s, possibly jurors, those two girls in the car with him in Brighton Beach the night of the hit... etc.

Still, there a lot of details, stories out there not covered in say "Murder Machine," "The Brotherhoods" and the various lesser books.

Veronicz Zeraw was a ** former ** nun btw but that was still awful of course.

Another, related topic would be innocents wounded in hits or, more rarely, attempted hits. You really have to go through the newspapers day by day in the 1970s/80s to get a sense of how crazy things were, good # of hits esp. on associates or those of unknown relations just came & went, unsolved, and if they're unrelated to anyone who later flipped... it's forgotten.
