John Gotti Jr., who was recently arrested by the feds on charges of murder and drug running, pleaded not guilty in a Florida court. Though the murders were allegedly in NY, he is being prosecuted in Florida because prosecutors say the Gambino crime family was "trying to gain a foothold" in Tampa. Which his lawyers are trying to change, saying, "The events happened in New York, and it's a disadvantage to transfer everything here." Prosecutors have unsuccessfully tried Gotti Jr. in NYC three times, and some suggest NYC-area jurors are too impressed by the mob. Still, the AP described Gotti as "looking upbeat and waving confidently to his family."





What a country. You people can invade an entire nation on false pretenses and murder thousands in the process but you can't find (or make up) a single shred of evidence to lock up a flagrant criminal.
You fuckers deserve this guy as McCain's VP candidate.
The Gambino family taking over Tampa? What is this guy? The Clapper Don?
