Veteran organized crime reporter
and author George Anastasia offers a short piece at Bigtrial.net on the fed’s audio
tape that features reputed Philadelphia Cosa Nostra mob boss Joseph Merlino and
a New York wiseguy discussing murder.
It was just a couple of guys
talking . . . about how to commit a murder.
And the feds got to listen
in.
Snippets of a conversation
recorded by a cooperating witness show Joseph "Skinny Joey" Merlino
and Eugene "Rooster" Onofrio casually discussing how to whack
somebody.
"It's easy to kill
somebody," said Merlino, according to a tape cited in a recent filing by
federal prosecutors in a case against Merlino and Onofrio that is winding its
way toward trial in New York.
You can read the rest of the
piece and link to a video of George Anastasia discussing the tape with fellow
crime reporter, Fox 29’s Dave Schratwieser, via the below link:
