If he did plea out, is there anyway that an agreement could be made where the current charges can’t be used towards a future rico? Is that even a possibility?

Joey will never plead, he wears it with pride that he’s never taken a plea in his entire life...

I doubt it, I don't think he has ever taken one has he?

Arbitrary, conservative, large number. You’re probably closer to the truth.

Makes my point more relevant though. Where’s the ‘please explain’ by the IRS on that figure?
I know for a fact that when Jack Licavoli went on trial in Cleveland in the early 1980's for one of the country's first RICO trials, he paid his lawyer a little over $450k. Time/hours, paralegals to help with research, expert witnesses, specialists to decipher audio tapes etc adds up in a hurry. And I believe that RICO trial was in 1982, 3 years prior to the infamous RICO trial of the bosses in NYC. If I'm not mistaken, Jack Licavoli was the first mafia boss in the country to be tried and convicted under RICO. His lawyer, Jimmy Willis, still pracitces law. A friend of mine works in his law office and we have discussed this on a few occasions.

I could see a plea to a federal misdemeanor gambling charge being worth it to Joey. He would live to see another day and the Feds would have his plea under their belt. Problem is, I'm sure they would need federal probation to get it past the Judge and I'm sure Joey wants none of probation. Looks like trial to me. The Feds may be wise to dismiss now, regroup with this Rubeo clown and indict Joey down the road in a philly rico case.

What difference would that make if he is the sole witness against him again? He wont have anything new, and he appears to be the biggest problem to their case.

What?
It's a quote from the move Gotti. It fits with Merlino's situation. He was saying that he's not taking a deal unless it's for a minor charge. He was willing to pay top dollar to fight the case instead of paying eight cents in lawyer fees and plead out.

Doesn't or didn't Merlino say he's a window washer or something? May be mixing him up with someone else but i'm pretty sure his claimed occupation is or was something hilarious like that.
