Sammy Gravano is a rat scum bag, but the thing about him killing his brother-in-law is misconstrued. Nicky Scibetta was a junkie. Paul approved him being whacked and don't tell Sammy. Frankie DeCicco sought permission to tell Sammy that Nicky was gonna be whacked. Sammy didn't fight it, but he had no say in the ordeal nor did he participate in any way. He wasn't dying with Nicky. The mere fact that he "knew" it was going to happen beforehand made him complicit and counted as 1 of his 19 murders. Sammy only pulled the trigger in 1 murder. He set up a lot of them but Louie Milito was the real hitter that did a lot of his heavy lifting.[/quote]

I believe that’s the real reason why Sammy had Louie whacked. He was no slouch himself but from all accounts Milito was no joke.
