Correct. They hit Gotti four times, seriously doubt they’ll let Merlino skip on one.

Was it true about it being 9 to 3 to convict or is the jury votes not made public?

I’d believe little unless you receive sources.

Capeci reporting jury was 10-2.

Thanks if true I would agree with you that they would take him to court again. The only thing that might hold them back is that they just don't want to lose a conviction again because of the bad publicity they got from this trial.

Oh okay I thought it was the other way. Yes if it was 10 to acquit than I don't think they will ask for new trial.

10-2 to convict ON WHICH COUNT? There were 4 Counts against him.

Health care fraud charge

It remains to be seen what happens I don't know what the government has up it's sleeve for a retrial. The last ten years the government's approach to the mob is to keep them in check here and there by building a medium level racketeering and gambling case through a informant and doing a sweep in a public manner as a way to flex their muscle for publicity. In reality these cases are not that strong and I think the government actually prefers not to go trial and have them all take some sort of plea agreement. This ends up benefiting the mobsters as they take the plea for 3-8 years depending on the charges and get out on parole/supervised release in around half that time they get to keep most of their ill gotten cash and assets, and don't have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on legal fees to go to trial. They do the time keep most of their money and then back to business as usual.
