Sounds like worse case scenario he'll go away for a year or two. More importantly, unless something else comes up (a superseding indictment via Persiano case, another major RICO, or something else) the fact remains that's Joey is going to be around longer. I know some people were probably biding their time in anticipation of him going away, but looks like they're going to have wait longer... One thing is for sure, Joey Merlino is one lucky SOB and he's a survivor!
