In this latest round, it's federal prosecutors 0, and John Gotti Jr. 1. A federal judge denied the feds's attempt to try Gotti in Florida and ordered the trial be moved to NYC. Judge Steven Merryday said the case, which includes three murder charges, against the supposed Gambino crime family boss is "unmistakably the same" as the, um, three trials Gotti went through in Manhattan in 2005 and 2006. Those NYC trials ended in mistrial, and the feds were hoping that a change of turf to Florida could change their luck. The feds had no comment, but Gotti's mother groused to the Daily News, "They can't find Osama Bin Laden but a Gotti at any given moment is a sure thing. ... The bruised egos from three hung juries will ensure [my son] will never, ever live his life in peace again."




This guy is a scumbag and he definitely deserves to go to jail, but the important point that this is making, in my opinion, is how absolutely retarded the federal government will get with venue shopping in order to hit a home run.
Something just does not sit well with me about that.
No your a scumbag. Its Jerkof*fs like you who like sheep believe everything the government prints in the newspapers. If hes a scumbag how about the feds who dont go after the execs who are costing us trillions the way they go after this guy
In NYC he will have a better jury pool to bribe. @ScottNY99, I had no idea the government prints newspapers for livestock
They sure do. Most of what you read from unnamed govt sources is for sheep that belive everything they read. And theres a better chance of you bribing a juror...
Give this boy some mafia justice: take him to the waterfront and try him before a jury of his piers.
