Nice to Mr. Binder chime in on this. Thanks for the link. Paulie Schiro killed Vandermark in my opinion ("John Nance" in Casino).

He was locked up before the family secrets trial, am I correct?

[Tonyd621]

I couldn't really finish the whole article b/c the pay wall went up before I could finish. But by the time he is out how much time will he have in prison?

Schiro was already in prison since 2001 for being involved in a jewelry robbery ring. So all told, about 22 years.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The last major "Family Secrets" mobster is out of federal prison.

At age 85, Paul Schiro has now moved to a halfway house.

He had been locked up Butler Federal Penitentiary in North Carolina and, as the I-Team first reported, he said he wanted out because the jailhouse was a breeding ground for COVID bugs.

Schiro was put away after being among those convicted in the government's "Operation Family Secrets" mob murder trial.

In 1986, he murdered Arizona businessman Emil Vaci, whom Outfit bosses had feared was cooperating with law enforcement in a casino death case.

But, Vaci's daughter told Judge John Blakey that, "We are the victims, not Paul Schiro because of his failing health and COVID-19."

"This is an 85 year old. He's probably, unless he is broke -- maybe he is -- he's probably looking for a quiet retired life," said John Binder, who is a Chicago mob historian and author. "Again, if they think he is not of any great use to them, they may well just let him move on a retire."

The judge said Schiro needed to stay in prison "to provide just punishment" for his role in "the cold-blooded murder of an individual thought to be a potential witness" against the infamous racketeering enterprise to which Schiro belonged.
Schiro has now finished his prison sentence and has been assigned by authorities to a halfway house in Phoenix, Arizona.

He will finish up his time there and will be fully free next April, just as he is pushing 90.

"Either your life ends or they let you go and say, 'Okay, Paulie,' you know, 'You're not good any more, you're sick --you can go retire. We really don't need ya,'" Binder said.

Schiro may be the last man to carry a family secret out of prison, but he's not the last Family Secret man in prison.

That blue ribbon goes to Outfit boss Jimmy "The Man" Marcello, who will remain locked up in America's supermax Colorado prison until the day he dies. He is serving a life sentence for being a top operator of the Outfit.

Other top mob bosses who went away in the Family Secrets trial died in prison. And for all of them, at least at the end, crime paid with taxpayer meals and a pint-sized mattress.

I'm not feeling too much sympathy for Schiro. I mean they got him for the Vaci killing. And there are a bunch of Spilotro murders he can be linked to. I always assumed when in Casino(the book) they wrote that Spilotro brought in two killers from California and Arizona to kill Marty Buccieri they were talking about Schiro since he was based in Arizona.

He got screwed. He wasn’t convicted of the Vaci killing. Jury couldn’t decide on it. He was convicted of racketeering. Judge sentenced him like he was convicted of murder. Bullshit in my opinion

I'd love to see these judges that hand out 39 year sentences see what its like doing a day in a camp. they would reduce the sentences if they had some idea how horrible 2 minutes is

I mean don't kill people and maybe they wouldn't have to be sentenced to 39 years. A judge should receive a sentence if they didnt commit a crime?

Of course grasping this simple concept requires an IQ above room temperature.

New Prosecutors should be required to do a week or 30 days before they start their new job. So many of them just don’t give a fuck and beg for ridiculous sentences and when a 3 judge courthouse is in play the judge is going to take the recommendation almost 80% of the time
