I think no way in hell nicodemo flips whether he beats the charges or not.But, lets say he does beat the charges.Him and dom become major players in the philly underworld. Especially in merlino/mazzones eyes.the way i look at it, you have 2 people who have the balls to carry out a hit without permission. Then when everybody knows its them, they keep their mouth shut and beat the charges. I understand if this happened in places like chicago or NY, both of them would get whacke for doing an unsanctioned hit. But its philly, and like everybody is saying, both are/were close to merlino
