This is probably the most detailed story about the case that I have seen, recently.

They played recordings of Mr. Rosario speaking with mob figures, propped up posters that depicted family trees of the different crime families and displayed payment ledgers to show the jury the seedy Long Island underworld that Mr. Rosario had entered.

Then there was Damiano Zummo, a soldier for the Bonanno family who testified against Mr. Rosario after he and Mr. Russo were charged with selling cocaine out of a gelato store in 2017. Mr. Zummo described under oath how he had been initiated into the crime family, pricking his finger and dripping blood onto a picture of a saint.

Curious how old these charts are and I wonder when Zummo was inducted. It's interesting he went through the full ceremony but in 2015 he's doing some rinky dink induction with Morena.

Hopefully Capeci or another media outlet can get those charts and share them. Looks like the trial transcripts won't be released until around July.
