From the government's argument to deny Casso compassionate release:
In the mid-1980s, Herbie Pate asked Casso and Amuso for assistance in killing Vincent Albano, a Genovese crime family associate with whom Pate had had many disagreements. Casso, Amuso and Pate came up with a plan in which Casso and Albano would meet at a pizza parlor and Casso would shoot him. Albano was successfully lured to the pizza parlor, and Casso had a gun hidden under his shirt, but there were too many witnesses and Casso did not shoot him. Several days later, Pate asked Casso to meet him, and found Albano’s dead body in a car. (Pate stated Albano had assaulted him.) Casso followed Pate to Staten Island, New York, to dispose of the body. They left the body in a car in the parking lot of a medical building; the body was not discovered for several days.
