Re: Matthew Madonna and Steven Crea have won a hearing for a new trial
Honestly I think they have a good chance. Would have happened a long time ago if not for Covid, which probably saved their asses considering the rule 33 probably got a longer statute of limitations while pennisi and Pasqua talked their asses off for 2 years
Re: Matthew Madonna and Steven Crea have won a hearing for a new trial
Madonnas buried asfk. They had him on tape shit talking Meldish in the lead up of the hit and the after call from londonio I don’t see him going anywhere
Crea I agree is a different story but I don’t see this going anywhere
I ain’t no legal lawyer or claim to have any extensive knowledge of the court system but I assume career criminals don’t have the easiest time winning appeals

Re: Matthew Madonna and Steven Crea have won a hearing for a new trial
I just don’t see it happening because it’s clear that Madonna was the Acting Boss of the Lucchese Family and his previous records speaks for itself.He had previously spent 32 years in prison before going away again in 2017 though by that time he was in state custody on a gambling charge.
Crea is the Underboss of the family and his prior records speak for itself though the evidence against Crea isn’t exactly the strongest

Re: Matthew Madonna and Steven Crea have won a hearing for a new trial
They have Crea on the pinkerton library doctrine. It doesn't even matter if he even knew about the murder, he is still liable, so it's going to be tough for him either way.

"So, before Judge Siebel sent the jury to make their decision, she gave them a special instruction, called the Pinkerton liability, so that even if they believed Crea didn’t have any involvement or knowledge about the murder of Michael Meldish, they could still find him guilty... Because if the jury believed he was a member of a “club” (or “enterprise,”) he “could have reasonably foreseen” – consulted his crystal ball – that somebody would have murdered Meldish." - Basically a participant in a conspiracy is still guilty of a crime that is committed to advance/benefit that conspiracy even if one of the participants had no knowledge/involvement in a particular crime committed by other participants in the overarching conspiracy. At least that's how I understand it.

So why didn't they use that Pinkerton Liability for other Luccheses then?nizarsoccer wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 8:16 amTaken directly from the Guilt for the Guiltless book explaining it:Tonyd621 wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 6:59 amWhat's the Pinkerton library doctrine?nizarsoccer wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 4:30 am They have Crea on the pinkerton library doctrine.

Amazed they were even convicted, embarrassing justice system
Re: Matthew Madonna and Steven Crea have won a hearing for a new trial
The inconsistencies with Pennisi's testimony makes this intriguing, they won't be getting a new trial based on his god story. Not sure why everyone is making a big deal about that whole thing, a lot of old school Italians are very superstitious. Im not one of the JP haters, but he does tell conflicting stories about the life pretty often. Talks about certain rules being followed to a T then in other videos specifically telling stories about the same rules being broken.

Works for me. That's essentially RICO anyway.nizarsoccer wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 8:16 amTaken directly from the Guilt for the Guiltless book explaining it:

Joseph DiNapoli, the Consigliere at the time, was very fortunate not to be hit with the Meldish murder chargenizarsoccer wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 8:16 amTaken directly from the Guilt for the Guiltless book explaining it:Tonyd621 wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 6:59 amWhat's the Pinkerton library doctrine?nizarsoccer wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 4:30 am They have Crea on the pinkerton library doctrine.

Re: Matthew Madonna and Steven Crea have won a hearing for a new trial
Yeah I don't get why DiNapoli wasn't indicted too since he was part of the administration. Wouldn't the same logic applied to Crea apply to him too?
