The same for Crea Snr.
The only chance of a plea if the murder raps are dropped if they accept lessor charges and maybe opt out for ten odd years and roll the dice they'll live long enough to see the other side. So a plea, whilst remote is always a possibility. All boils down to the strength of the G's case.

Agree Chucky.
We need this thing to go to trial and not plea out.
That way the G will go through everything...

One thing I would like to get more information about is the Bonanno member Crea ordered Cassano to kill, it's unclear whether that was related to the Meldish situation.

Not only that but Capeci also was the one who said that the indictment would be hitting the Creas as well.

Yes, many of his articles can be boring and he often skips over stuff that readers would find more interesting. But I don't think saying him not being "in the know" is accurate. He's still more in the know than most journalists who cover the mob, as well as anyone on the forums.
The Lucchese bust was 2yrs in the making. Everyone knew he Meldish murder indictment was coming down on Madonna the minute they picked up Londonio for the hit. Madonna has been the prime suspect for 2yrs. It was in the papers several times prior to the indictment coming down. 20yrs ago.. Capeci would have known who the informant was in the Lucchese bust about a week after the indictment came down. Capeci is just out of the loop these days. I don't believe he has the contacts he used to have back in the day. I think those contacts retired long ago.

He should fly to Montreal and partner with some journalist up there for 1 month piece on whats going on up there. Capeci only writes about what is in the NY DAILY news a week prior. Sometimes word for word like this weeks piece about Sonny. Also everyone involved in that Lucchese Indictment has known for weeks who the guy is that wore a wire yet Capeci is not in the know. 25yrs ago Capeci would have a good idea who the informants are within a week of the indictments coming down because he had contacts in LE , defense attorneys and prosecutors office. I believe these contacts died off yrs ago.
agreed

so much going on. Bonanno Howard beach bust. Luchese hierarchy. Joey still fighting it. all 3 things he went with have been in the daily news/post ad naseum or whatever

Interesting to note that Franzese is living in Greenpoint now. There was a Columbo making ceremony there in 2005.. viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1707&p=28823&hilit ... int#p28823

There is just not much going on I imagine to have "new stuff" every week or whatever it is when he releases this stuff. It ain't the 70's and most of the people that read his column doesn't want to hear about the only true family that is doing anything as I'm talking about Montreal.

As for Scarpa Jr., that is pretty shitty though. Give him a 10 year cut then say the judge was wrong? That's horseshit. Reminds me of the judge that gave those 2 ranchers a break only for the Feds to come and make them go BACK to jail after they said the judge was wrong. Unless they had proof anything was fixed, I think it's b.s. they can go back and add time just because they found a judge to be wrong. I know legally it's not double jeopardy but that is almost exactly what it is.

I too would buy a book from Sonny if he ever told Michael or whatever the stories he knows. Of course I probably have a better chance at hitting the lotto than to see Sonny tell his stories to anyone, but at least it gives us something to talk about.

Was thinking that a Franzese piece would lead to a Colombo update, but I guess I'll give Jerry a pass since he's had some good columns recently.
