Jurors whacked Peter Gotti yesterday — convicting the reputed Gambino boss of plotting to murder mob turncoat Salvatore "Sammy Bull" Gravano and accepting kickbacks from construction contractors.
The verdict by the mostly minority, female jury — after four days of deliberations in Manhattan federal court — means the 65-year-old Gotti will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Why not have him serve his sentence somewhere nice - like North Korea? In a US prison, you know he's got life pretty easy.

Plotting to commit a crime and actually committing a crime are two different things.
What do they mean by 'kickbacks' and how do they add up to so much prison time. The Clintons took 'kickbacks' from people and didn't serve any time.

"mob turncoat witnesses — former Gambino captain Michael "Mikey Scars" DiLeonardo, Salvatore "Fat Sal" Mangiavillano and Frank "Frankie Fapp" Fappiano." Any of them dealing drugs while in witness protection?

Uh I think I see an appellate issue here. Looks to me like a violation of his Constitutional Rights occurred, to wit;
"The verdict by the mostly minority, female jury"
A mostly minority, female jury IS NOT a "Jury Of Your Peers".
It's the same as a Black man accused of rape having a mostly white jury, which has been found Unconstitutional!
Now the only problem is finding Twelve 'Goodfellas' to sit on a jury. (I'm kidding here)

Me too! I was surprised Sammy "the bull" lasted this long, however the ride isn't over yet.
