Valin Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Cosa Nostra News(Snip)Carmine Persico is 83 years old and has served more than 32 years of a 136-year prison sentence following his conviction in the "Mafia Commission Case."His attorneys are seeking to get him resentenced under the grounds that the FBI may have played some covert hanky-panky during the investigation prior to the high-profile trial of the so-called leadership of New York's Five Families.The ghost of Gregory Scarpa continues to haunt New York's criminal justice system, especially in the Southen District, where the case was prosecuted. A landmark trial, then-U.S. Attorney Rudolph Giuliani was the driving force behind it, ironically and allegedly after he read former mob boss Joseph Bonanno's memoir A Man Of HonorOr was he? Jerry Capeci already has raised questions about whether Giuliani has historically overplayed his hand in terms of his role in that case. Now, the legal validity of the case is under fire -- at the very least by Persico's attorneys.(Snip)___________________________________________________________________________________ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
