But you did compare them by bringing them up as examples, and those cases involved several murders or murder conspiracies related to the Colombo war, Merlino's case is a little unique in that it seems like he was thrown in there for name value. Merlino, Jacobs, and Meringolo aren't stupid, there's a lot of reasons to take this to trial.
I don't see it going that far though, my guess is the feds will drop the case or offer Merlino a deal he's willing to take.
