Mama Gotti's had it.
"Why don't you just kill him now!," the matriarch of the Gotti clan yelled at Judge Kevin Castel at the end of a hearing for her son John A. (Junior) Gotti in Manhattan Federal Court.
"They're trying to kill him before trial," she said. "These are the good guys? God help us."
Victoria Gotti erupted after Castel shot down Junior's request to have a second lawyer assist in his defense when he goes to trial on conspiracy charges in September.
"They fight like little b------, instead of men," Mrs. Gotti said after the hearing.
It will mark the fourth time that Gotti has faced down the feds in the past four years.
All three previous trials ended in mistrials.
Gotti looked noticeably slimmer than his last appearance before Castel.
"I'm feeling good today," he told Castel.
Not that good, said his lawyer Charles Carnesi, who contended his client needs to receive treatment for a recurrence of kidney stones, which have become infected.
Radio host Curtis Sliwa offered a remedy for Gotti's medical condition.
"I'd be more than happy to break up his kidney stones with a nice therapeutic massage," Sliwa said, flashing a coy smile.
Sliwa was shot twice in 1992 as he tried to jump out the window of a cab whose doors had been rigged shut by Gotti henchmen, prosecutors say.
The mob scion had grown testy over Sliwa's on-air rants about the Gotti clan after his father's racketeering conviction earlier that year.
Let’s see... extortion, blackmail, intimidation, murder, and that’s just getting into what mobs do.
If I were the judge, I’d just say “OK!!!!!!!!”
Oh gee - I thought you were describing the current administration.
This Sopranos horsesh*t has to stop
I here what your saying and agree but, This young Gotti is a punk however I wonder about old school mafia and old school rules.
Leave Tony Soprano ALONE.
Would it really matter? Lol
"Mention extortion again, and I'll have your legs broken."
Me too. “ok.....BANG!”
Hey, I know people who know people.
I hear ya. :-) But, there are caricatures for every group of people.
As long as there are real-live John Gottis in this world, things like the Sopranos aren’t the real problem.
I’m really glad Sliwa is alive and able to be there in his face.
I admire him.
“Mama Gotti goes wild: wails ‘Why don’t you just kill him now!’ at judge in Junior trial”
...if it were Judge Roy Bean the answer would’ve been, “OK! Sounds good to me”!
The TV Sopranos or the Real Sopranos?
Why don’t they just get him a position in the Obama administration?
Me too. Now if he would just get off the radio from 10:00 to 11:00 in NYC, ABC radio could go back to a full 2 hours of Laura Inghram, and Curtis could spend more time being a subway vigilante. Seriously, I have great admiration for the man, but every second of him on the radio is annoying. And I agree with him most of the time.
Hey, I know people.
