On a different note
I think lil Dino got Fuct more than anyone
He took out a cop with out even knowing
Because of it almost faced a death penalty case
His older cousin who brought him into the family flipped on him,
His older brother Flipped on him
One of his closest friends Caves Flipped on him
Childhood friend Dave Gordon wore a wire on him and flipped
He went to trial beat the murders because of what Gordon recorded him saying:
The judge got pissed and instead of giving him 20 years which is what almost all getting convicted would have gotten
Because he was caught on the wire saying I'll do 20 standing on my head
The judge gave.him 50
At 20 he had a chance of a life he would have been home at around 60 years old.
That 50 was a life sentence
He got convicted of Conspircy to commit murder.
And obviously that B.S. about even if you were found not guilty if the believes you were guilty can sentence you as if.
Meanwhile Calabro, Caves and his brother will all be out soon.
That has to STING pretty bad.
At sentencing, the judge used his tape-recorded words to account for the 50-year sentence. Little Dino was recorded saying something like this, "I'll take 20 years with a smile. I can do 20 years on my fuckin' head" and the judge used that to suggest that Saracino wouldn't be rehabilitated unless he did far more than 20 years.
Little Dino is a tried-and-true tough guy, and he's got lawyers working overtime to see that he gets his sentence reduced. I have no sympathy for people who live off the proceeds of crime, but Little Dino got shafted in the ass - from a legal standpoint, he was not a murderer but got a 50 year sentence, and Big Dino was an admitted murderer of eight people and got a time-served sentence.
