I'm just highlighting the bad decision making of the Lucchese administration and their handling of the Meldish hit.
In regards to Crea Sr getting his son involved in the Meldish hit, it seems like a foolish move for a father to order his own son to carry out a hit which could get the son life without parole, especially in this day and age with so many guys willing to flip as soon as they get jammed up.
Madonna orders Crea Sr to take care of it, Crea Sr gives the contract to his own son and his son gives the contract to two of his crew members. Now five guys are involved in the murder and that means five potential informants. How many fucking guys does it take to pull a fucking trigger? These mobsters keep handing hit contracts down the line so much that it passes through 5-10 fucking people before it gets to a trigger man.
Isn't that the way it's always been? Any time I've read about mob murders there has always been approximately half a dozen people directly involved. And it seems they would involve more people sometimes precisely because they would be implicated, and that would ensure their silence and loyalty. Which seems to backfire when they do it now.
There's also the theory that a) these guys are just middle aged farts and aren't really gangsters in the truest sense of the word, and/or b) that they're so terrified of prison they don't want to get their hands dirty, so keep the risks to a minimum.
