"A mob turncoat publicly apologized to Guardian Angels leader Curtis Sliwa in court Tuesday, before being sentenced for time served.
Joseph (Little Joey) D’Angelo, 43, was convicted for driving the stolen taxi that was used in an attempt to kill Sliwa on June 19, 1992. The former Gambino wiseguy then turned on the mob and testified that John Gotti, Jr. put a hit out on Sliwa after the vigilante bathmouthed Gotti’s father on his radio show.
After three unsuccessful tries at convicting Gotti Junior for the assassination attempt, federal prosecutors dropped the charges against him in 2010."

I’d forgotten the details of this trial. But I do remember Kuby hi-fiving the Mafia lawyers which caused Curtis to go ballistic and the suits at WABC to have a serious talking-to to Mr. Kuby! Kuby was forced to apologize on air and talk about his psychological problems - which included a diagnosis of “lack of empathy.” Now that I think back on it, it was pretty entertaining!
