It wasn't his charm. The mob fixed the jury in that case.

How do you know this? A person of the jury was arrested because accepted a bribe?

Im not sure if a juror was ever arrested but if I recall correctly Tumac gave the Fed's this information when he became a cooperator.

Using Gravano's name also has to do with slander elements. Two elements, the second being damages. Gravano had already testified that he murdered 19 people. He could hardly sue production for reputational damage just because the producers depicted him killing John Favara.

Truth is a defense as well. If he sued, they could probably defend saying its more likely than not he conspired to kill Favara. Also, if he sued in civil court he'd have to come back and testify. He was in the witness program at the time.

His brother Ralph DiNorscio was also a Philly associate in Newark. Died young, severe substance abuse problems like his brother.

Yep bad alcoholic. He was a binger...meaning he would be fine for months then be held up in a hotel room drinking vodka for a week and would have to be hospitalized sometimes. Being a binger does more damage to you body and its organs then if someone drank everyday as a functioning drunk etc. Bingers usually die young...allot of them in a hotel room because its where they can hide and drink. Allot of Crack addicts do this as well and use Alcohol to help them coming down from smoking coke. Then repeat....they never leave the hotel room. .

He is dead ! lol Was affiliated with the Philly Newark crew via his old man. He switched to under Tumac. He was a coke dealer and addict more then anything. He got hit with those tough 1980s drug laws and get a very long sentence. But there is more hype about the guy then anything. He was a dealer that was hooked on his product. They took his money and respected him for keeping his mouth shut...but that where it ended. At the end of the day he was just a coke dealer and drug addict.

Yes, but he was a junkie who, thanks to his charm, managed to convince a jury of a federal trial to acquit 20 made men, preventing the feds from defeating all or most of the lucchese jersey crew and more he get 30 y in 1985 and don't flipped like others in the luccheses in the same period.

So tell me which other mobster did that ?

He was a funny guy. But the trial was fixed. People liked Jackie allot when he wasn't on a coke binge. The guy you see in the prison interviews and out of jail sober prior to his death was not the Jackie who was involved in the mob. He was a mess and like every drug addict does..he hung around people who used drugs and because of that people distanced themselves from him

Jackie came up around Louie Luciano in Newark. Jackie was with Philadelphia. His father got made into the family during the 60's. When Luciano got hit, Jackie's father inherited some of Lolly's rackets in Newark through Tony Bananas. Luciano had a big crew, Tino, Joey Sodano, DiNorscios, Jerry Gallichio, even Tommy Pecora and the Taccetta brothers were around that group. Don't know if Taccettas were with Luciano or did Tumac have numbers and gambling interests with him (most likely), but they could have started with Luciano and went with Tumac in 71 after Luciano got killed.

There a long book about him. Think it's called the boys of Jersey or something. It's good. He had a cousin Alonzo who tries to kill him in miami well there both high or some shit. Think guys liked his father and since jackie wasnt a dangerous drug addict like some guys can be they just accepted him

John Fresolone was another close Luciano associate who was with him when he was killed and moved to Florida. Surprised he is never mentioned by George in his book, as John appears to be the older brother of George's father Patsy who was also a family associate.
