by the legal standard, not my opinion Furio, he was not boss and was convicted as boss, so they are just punishing him for being a boss and murderer .but they are the law and should not base their opinion or though of other crimes.law is law..except when they want to usurp it
Yes Bronx,law is law and for this Persico should die in prison;even on a wheelchair he was a simbol for the colombos while if the feds continue to keep him in jail give the message to all the criminals that if you break the law you will pay until the end and anyway persico for sure now stay in a medical detector center. Bronx if persico wasnt the colombo boss who was the real boss?
At the time of the Carmine Galante hit, it's thought by many that Thomas DiBella was still the boss of the family at this point. There's quite a bit of evidence to support that. Persico probably did not assume the boss mantle until his release from prison (I can't remember if that was later in 1979 or in 1980). Persico's lawyers have gathered a lot of evidence, straight from the FBI itself, that backs up that assertion. Prior to this, the theory was that Persico assumed the boss mantle sometime in the mid-1970s whilst in prison, and DiBella was his acting boss as opposed to official.
