Ahh... but Pacino brings Donnie to his boss.... so someone could have planted Carlo to be found by Sonny... which leads to bringing him home to meet Connie.
 You want to stop it now?  Yeah ... that was it... no more on that one... just a "you never know" LOL

Your discussion has reminded me of Vito's refusal to give Carlo some position in the family business.
How could Vito perceive the possible treachery from Carlo if he were given any important position?
One has only one destiny, he cannot choose it.

Yes, Tom does garner sympathy from the viewer at times, as did Sonny and Vito. But he, just like them, was a stone cold murderer, despite the demeanor that he displays in most of both movies.
Aside from his obvious condoning and facilitating of murder, did Tom actually murder anyone? Did he ever make his bones or did the Don just bring him in do you think?

I don't believe that Tom ever murdered anyone by his own hand. Vito would have never allowed that because it could have implications down the road and effect Tom's stature as a lawyer. Vito never influenced Tom to come into the family business. Vito supported Tom's decision to go to law school and when he was done it was Tom who asked Vito if he could work in the Corleone family business. Remember what Vito told Tom about a lawyer with one briefcase?
