@Wiseguy:
Want to defend fed resources spent on convicting Licata?
Dare you
The thing is, the prosecutors compiling the mob cases these days are the bottom of the barrel, hate to say it. The good prosecutors work with the heavily funded task forces and the headline media cases, like terrorism and cartels. This should’ve been a state case, right? But the racketeering conspiracy allowed the feds to lump a misdemeanour into an “economic extortion” charge that some rookie prosecutor was talked into pursuing. That’s my 2 cents, for what it’s worth.
