Presented the issue:
Leonetti's credibility.

Described a trend:
Domineering father figures in LCN (or life) having control over their protege's upbringing and actions (or inactions).

Presented evidence to support the trend:
Leonetti's own testimony, other examples in other LCN families.

Made a Conclusion:
I believe that Nicky Scarfo had strong influence over Phil. This may have affected his adherence to Salvie's murder and apprehension to do something about Scarfo.

But thank you for giving me permission to believe what I choose to.
