MaryCas,

I respectfully disagree with you on that assertion. It was common knowledge amongst the family that Sonny flew out of the house in a fit of rage and was then killed. The woman and Connie definately did NOT know that Carlo set this up, but I believe that Connie felt ashamed and responsible for calling Sonny in the first place causing him to leave the house and get killed on his way over. She never knew that Carlo staged the whole thing, but deep down she had to have felt " If I didn't call Sonny, he would still be alive," and therefore she felt that everyone indirectly blamed her and Carlo for causing Sonny to be killed. So her and Carlo probably were afraid to ask themselves fearing that Michael would feel that Carlo was indirectly responsible for his brother Sonny's death and would tell them to get lost! Meanwhile Michael knew that Carlo really set up Sonny, (but Connie did not know this detail), and Michael saw this opportunity to make Carlo and Connie relax and feel close to him again, so he says Yes to being Godfather to thier child, this way when Mike had to take care of Carlo, they would never suspect Mike! Remember his father's saying " Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer!"
