This whole thing bugs me...

Jabril Abdalla was the driver on the hits on Angelo Musitano and Saverio Serrano. The latter turned into a tragic mess when Saverio’s innocent girlfriend Mila Barberi was killed while Saverio managed to escape.

After roughly 4 years in prison Abdalla was released for time served. The Crown found him not guilty of being an active part of the conspiracy but just an involuntary associate in the murders. Mila's family is obviously devastated.

More background info:
- for Abdalla’s case: "I was the fall guy..."
- for the Barberis’ reaction: "Slap in the face!"

Now, my take:

Abdalla's defense made him look like a real-life Jaime Foxx from the movie “Collateral”: a naïve cabbie unknowingly driving an assassin around town.

I'm having a hard time believing that Jabril was completely kept in the dark about what was going on.
He drove these guys around for months, buying trackers, doing stakeouts, but, supposedly, he never once asked what was happening and was never told what they were up to?

Tomassetti and Cudmore were anything but professional hitmen. Talkative and boorish, they were the typical suburban mob wannabes. I'm supposed to buy that neither one of them let out what was their ultimate goal?

He's neither an angel or an outsider: a self-admitted coke dealer, grew up in Hamilton, was a childhood friend and very close to the main conspirator, Tomassetti. Even in the unlikely event that he wasn’t told a thing I’m sure he could have figured it out by himself.

There’s the possibility that Abdalla was truly nothing more than a self-absorbed jerk that never bothered to think about what was happening. Or just way too stupid to understand what was really going on. That said, part of me frames him as a smart-ass hustler who successfully played dumb to shelter himself from the responsibilities of his actions.

What are your thoughts on this?
