I think it was mentioned in this board that Gene Gotti received 50 years because Carneglia told a journalist he will piss on the judges grave and that's why the judge gave such a high sentence instead of a more normal one.

One of the many reasons GOtti was not well liked outside of Queens. Gotti couldn't get out of his own way.

Around the time Giuliani turned the Southern District of NY into a bionic kick to the balls to whomever dared going to trial.

Seems like it became common in the 1990s.

When did taking pleas begin to be used as a consistent strategy by the Genovese, and who were the ones who began to do it?
