Didn't Megale take a plea that made Gotti go ballistic? The Westside stop doing that and got less sentences on their pleas.
yes john was old school he did not believe in admitting the LCN existed problem was by this time everyone knew it existed but john was admant. The westside were the first family to start the plea deals
the luchese family also under casso and amuso were against the pleas part of the reason they tried to kill pete was because he was taking a plea
