Re Frank Martines underboss: his defense lawyer had this to say.

Quote:
Martines, alleged acting underboss, had such stature, his lawyer said sarcastically, that he once was asked to leave a meeting when mob business was being discussed.


Though it's a defense lawyer so it must be taken with a grain of salt.


I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
