Skinny Joey Murder Indictment?

wow, you knew once joey was back in they aint gonna want to let him out..although he should be back out in a few weeks...

i always thought Gongs was banging Mazzones wife

This was obvious , knew that parole violation was bullshit , I thought one of the reasons casasanto was murdered was because he was also bragging he was involved in the long john martorano murder aswel

"Gangster Report sources reveal a confirmed meeting between Nicodemo and Merlino in the weeks leading up to the DiPietro murder and one between Nicodemo, Grande and Mazzone the night before the hit was carried out, receiving authorization and a final go-ahead, respectively."

This is such bull shit and purely speculation. Even so, this could never secure a conviction. LE purposely leak this sort of nonsense hoping to " rattle the cage" with the hopes of someone saying something in a wire tap.
Just like for the past 10 years there was going to be a big indictment in Philly. Of course there will eventually be a hundred indictments.

yeah believe there were a few reasons with him

I'm shocked. Shocked .

But all kidding aside, I've been saying forever that they're never giving this guy any peace. I also said they wanted him inside on a violation when they hit him with new charges so they could deny him bail. No way a predicate felon and acting boss gets a bail package while he's inside on a violation.

That said, this particular article could be complete bullshit. But if not now, next year. If not next year, the year after that. And I'm not even saying they'll convict. But they're never giving Joey Melino any peace. Ever.

That's the price of the life. No pay, no game. Joey should have known that before pulling the trigger his first time (or ordering his first hit).
It would be interesting if they put him in the same jail with Stanfa and put some armed prison gangs at their disposition, so they can finally finish what they started in the 90s. I still bet on Stanfa. He may be an inept boss, but in violence he's better than Merlino imho.

If true, PB called it months ago. But time is running out for the Feds, once again if this is true they will need to hurry up and slap him with an indictment before he is free.

I also agree that they will NEVER give Joey peace for the rest of his life. ANYTHING that goes down in Philly he will be harassed for by the Feds whether he had anything to do with it or not..

Don,t know if this is true ,but I know back in the fall Eddie Jacobs went down to see Skinny and Eddie was very sick at the time .the reason had to be pretty important for him to risk his health and go down there for something that had to be done face to face.

Which is something Scott acknowledges near the end of the article, and warns about any "expectations" that may arise with the news of an upcoming murder indictment.

Will come the time where Merlino will end up badly for all the troubles that bringed to the philly mob.DiPietro was a informant,in Sicily are talking about lupara bianca (white shotgun), when a person disappears, you know that is dead but don't find the body.

Stupidest crimes in history and if it was planned like is stated here then everyone should get locked up and have people laugh at them for years to come because of the idiocracy of this crime

they need someone to flip, if there was anything on merlino or mazzone you'd figure they would have been arrested already...

lol, seriously, what kinda plan is that for fuck sake! i always figure it was spur of the moment driving by seen him on the corner and just did it..but planned wtf

My thoughts exactly. Scott/LE are trying to suggest this hit was planned? Using his own car?

Kidding?! Laughable suggestion.

I doubt LE would be so stupid if thats there attempt to rattle the cage, I think Scott is reaching. And poorly at that.

Or as it was so eloquently put 'I call Bullshit'.

100% on the mark...it was 2012, common sense and paranoid gangsters know their are street cameras and ways to track down vehicles, etc, to say they planned this dumb act is BS as stated, and then who handed out this info, there were 3 people in on a meeting and these guys dont talk ever...so they are gonna go tell another neighborhood guy or brag that this is how it went down, grande aint talking, that is a lucky ass dude

Lol at calling it bullshit, like you have any clue.

Just because it was planned poorly, or executed poorly, doesn't mean it was not planned

Maybe Merlino just gave the order and left the planning to Nicodemo who "planned" it in the way we know?

Well the two options are:

A) It was a planned hit over many months with meetings with Merlino and Mazzone and then Nicodemo, the professional lifelong criminal and hitman, used his own car in broad daylight....

OR

B) it wasnt planned and the article is bullshit.


HMMMMMM, Gimme a sec...

But, if it wasn't planned, how exactly did the things take place? Did Nicodemo use his own car in a drunken rage or something like that? Because, there should be an explanation why did he do it so poorly, at least an absurd or weird one.

I too think it wasn't planned, but even if Nicodemo acted completely on his own (or with Grande, as some people say), why such a poor execution? Were they drunk or high on drugs?

At least, what's the opinions of people?

How about the 2 were all yacked up on coke drove down the street for whatever reason saw him outside were all paranoid on the coke started talking about him being a snitch and decided to kill him right then... drove back around for 2nd time and got him.. no planning just paranoid coke heads

not sure about the coke part lol but pretty much it, nicodemo only lives two blocks from there, was prob driving home up bigler and saw the dude standing there went back and did it..i assume there was an ok out too hit the guy for a while

The Feds want Merlino for anything. It's gonna be all out law enforcement on his ass for a long time.

Unles they roll nicks or grande they have no case. Another waste of taxpayer dollars.

For the rest of his life. Whether or not they succeed is another story.

I don't think that joey was a tought guy, after 15 y if he will be sentenced again,he for sure will flip.

he may be a lot of things, but a rat he is not, guy did half his life in prison

None of the s philly neighborhood guys are rats that joey and his family grew up with, from the last philly trial to niccodemo, none have flipped, borgesi, staino, angelina, merlino, canalchio, cianglinis, ligambi, mazzone, dom grande, micali, massimino, and some of these guys got some serious time did it or are doing it and kept quiet and in this day and age is a big deal

You've made a really going point Merlino. Philly certainly has a good amount of stand up guys. So, I guess Nicodemo ended up not cooperating even after he pled guilty, that certainly says something about his character, he will be away for along time.

How do they pin this hit on him. Guy just took the murder unless the feds indict nicodemo to. he plead guilty if they heard merlino on a wire tap they should have told the guy his life's in danger. Don't make sense.
