His co defendant Dino saracino will be sentenced on 3rd April , I think the stiff sentences r because they skated on the murder charges , gioeli has pretty much got the maximum he could be given

Will he get time off for good behavior or will he have to serve the whole sentence?


MORGAN: Why didn't you fight him at the park if you wanted to? I'm not goin' now, I'm eatin' my snack.
CHUCKIE: Morgan, Let's go.
MORGAN: I'm serious Chuckie, I ain't goin'.

I'm not to sure sonny , he is 61 and already has had health problems in prison , if he has to serve the full 20 it's effectively a life sentence

Exactly.
Which is why the question is so important. If he can serve twelve (with 6 down already), he's a chance.
If it's the full 18, nite nite Tommy.

With time served and good behavior, he has less than 10 years left on his sentence.

He gets credit for time served plus 1 day off the sentence for every 50 days for good behavior and they can also be sent to a halfway house towards the end of their sentence

PMAC has a good point.

How a judge can sentence (and hence psuedo convict) somebody based of what he/she THINKS theyve done, not what theyve been convicted of goes against the very concept of a trial by your peers.

It specifically negates the trial. And in doing so the system itself (innocent until PROVEN guilty).

It's a very dangerous trend.

In the FEDS you have a guidline, which im sure most of yous know, but the judge can give you more or less based on U.S. v Booker. the judge has to sentence you based on guideline as a measuring point and only use the guidelines as advisor it is not mandotory like it used to be. If he, is facing a mandotory minimum, the judge has no choice but to give him that. With that said if he was raketeering with a a gun, add two levels and so one for certain crimes...not knowing much of this case and based off my knowledge with this type of cases, I would say his base offense level is like 30 something which is 200 something months or so, so he couldve got worst a lot worst if they applied things like guns, domestic terrorism, and a lot more.
So in the bright side he gets two months off every year in the feds so thats like two or three years off the bat so 18 turns into 15, halfway house so that makes it 14...he got 6 years in that makes it 8 years .. He will be home by the time he is 70 never mind the programs you can take to knock off time so he is in pretty good shape you ask me...

Federal prisoners have to serve 80% of their sentences by law. This isn't the state of NY. That is 14.5 right there best case scenario.

Was he in the can awaiting this trial or did have another conviction he was serving time on? If it was awaiting trial, then he does have 5-7 in time served.

Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison.
I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate...
for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here

Yea take a look at the chart. This was well within the guidelines based on his long criminal history.

Yea I was right and in the FEDS you have to serve 85% of the time but in the same difference, they recieve 57 days off every year off the bat so thats basically two months every year which adds up to three three years for his 18 years which leaves him 15 years ...halfway house gives him a year so that is 14 years with 6 years in he be out before he is 70..Iff you ask me he got a deal because they couldve added all types of enhancements and upward departures and really gave him 30-40 years and he really die in prison. This right here is to make sure he flys straight for a while and gets the idea that his next sentence will be death in the can

He's already been in jail for 5 years. 14.5-5=less than 10.

I remember reading about one NY southern district case last year. The guy was aquitted of all charges... Judge slammed him with 20 years. They call it 'aquitted conduct'. I thought the same way as you guys when I first found out about that. Which was essentially.... How?
So I read up on it. It's such a flagrantly unconstitutional practice, that it's being fought in Supreme Court.
Here is an informative discussion and explanation of the acquitted conduct sentencing enhancement.

a soldier should get lease time then the boss but im guessing 25yr for lil dino. what will they give the cop killing rats. guy Anthony got 9 yrs for 2 murders these rats got like 6 or7 and the cop and some poor guy smashed in the head with a sludge hammer for nothing cause he was mad. hope his mom goes to sentencing like victor Bruno went to all the rats that killed his father.

With all the rats and whatnot he still made out alright. He clearly is not interested in taking care of himself though (based on the article where the judge subpoenaed his commissary order). It might be hard for him to survive 8 more years.

I guess joel waverly is a health nut and gets out at 78 shot is like 61 he can make it this guy nope. colombos just got all the killers.

he told the sentencing judge I hope you give big dino and joe comp the same sentence, will see. will the victims famiyls go to there sentencing since no one was convicted of any of the murders crazy. I be going nuts in my victim impact statement if I don't think there was any at lil dinos sentencing cause he wasn't convicted of murder. judge has to gi hard on the rats at least 15 to 20 yrs for 6murders and a cop.

I told you guys two years ago that those guys would be sentenced like cop killers, regardless of the verdicts. Now I'm not saying it's right, just very predictable.

The disparity between sentences given to those acquitted of murder charges by judges in comparison to those who flip and confess to multiple murders is absurd.

If a judge gives Little Dino 50 after beating a murder rap and gives big D 5-10 for multiple murders.... There is something seriously wrong.

pb I seen it coming to. just the judge had to give a soldier more time than 2 bosses it must have been in his head like how the hell did the d.a. screw this easy case up and I got to do the tuff judge thing and then let the other cop killer plus six more kills walk. but the poor kid who got hit in the head to.death with a sledge hammer how does a judge let Joe comp walk his excuse was I was mad. his mom was at this guys sentencing why? had nothing to do with Colombo mafia stuff.sick

There was one excuse that the judge felt Dino just wasn't remorseful at all, and was caught on tape saying he'd do that 20 with a fucking smile. Just impossible to predict what the hell these judges are going to pop someone with. Boss gets 20,sokdier gets 50,makes no sense.

It specifically negates the trial. And in doing so the system itself (innocent until PROVEN guilty).

It's a very dangerous trend.


I remember reading about one NY southern district case last year. The guy was aquitted of all charges... Judge slammed him with 20 years. They call it 'aquitted conduct'. I thought the same way as you guys when I first found out about that. Which was essentially.... How?
So I read up on it. It's such a flagrantly unconstitutional practice, that it's being fought in Supreme Court.
Here is an informative discussion and explanation of the acquitted conduct sentencing enhancement.



http://sentencing.typepad.com/sentencing...nhancement.html


I think for the most part its constitutional and will stay that way. There is a long line of cases that affirm that the practice of judges "establishes that the practice does not violate the Sixth Amendment when the conduct is established by a preponderance of the evidence and the sentence does not exceed the statutory maximum for the crime". There was no appeal to the SC in that case mentioned above.

The most recent case is US v. Jones (in front of the DC panel), in which a guy was indicted for a massive drug conspiracy and murders. He was acquitted of all counts except a single crack distribution count. The District Court judge then found by a preponderance of the evidence "clear evidence of Ball's leadership in a drug Conspiracy" and gave him a 225 month prison term far in excess of the guidelines.

Here is the argument it isnt constitutional:

It is:

My feeling is that the practice is probably constitutional under current binding precedent, but morally and legally very dubious and wrong. Scalia wrote the clearest argument against in his Rita concurrence.

Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison.
I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate...
for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here
