The Boss

On April 2, at the end of an intensely publicized trial in Federal District Court, the jury found Mr. Gotti guilty of all 13 counts against him, including a racketeering charge that cited him for five murders, and related charges of murder, conspiracy, gambling, obstruction of justice and tax fraud. This month twenty two years ago, after four trials, dozens of rats and millions of tax payer dollars the government was able to finally frame our fearless leader. A hard working plumbing supply salesman from Queens. Fuckin' government they got no parameters.

 Never missing a beat Gotti was driven from federal court in NYC to Stewart Airport in Newburgh, NY  to board a plane for Marion penitentiary, where he would spend the last ten years of his life, he took two steps up before boarding the plane turned around to the federal agent and said: "Do you think it's too late to say I'm sorry?" That was John being John.  A knock around guy from the streets, they would laugh at him when he would brag as a young hoodlum that he would one day be boss of the family. John lived his life by his own rules, built and expanded the Gambino family to a $500 million a yr empire. Not bad for a guy that came up from nothing.
