That might have crossed my mind also.

The accounts given of that day say that the three hitmen jogged into the restaurant. I can see Whack Whack jogging. Not "Big Trin".


Some account I read somewhere said he was standing guard as the other 2 shooters entered the courtyard. As far as who shot who, there are plenty of recent Bonanno turncoats, you think there would be some more information out there.


There really doesn't appear to be much convicting Bruno. Trinchera is listed in one court doc as a member of the conspiracy. "Big Trin" isn't described as a shooter outright. His role isn't really clarified.
