Find Me Guilty Page #2

- Mr. Kierney.

- Yeah?

You got a brother?

Yeah.

Well, f*** him too.

You set up that meeting, didn't you?

Well, if somebody's gonna make a deal,

Jackie, I want it to be you.

Aw, fanculo, you motherf***er.

That's why they did the dope trial, so they

could use it to squeeze me on this one.

You should know that.!

I've been in prison half my life.

- You think I'm gonna start making deals now?

- Listen,Jackie.

My job is to give you the best legal

advice I can. That's what you pay me for.

I paid you 250,000

for my last trial...

and I'm sitting here

holding my dick.

How much you wanna

charge me for this one?

- Look at all the work we've put in on this thing.

- How much you wanna charge me?

- Ah, 60,000, give or take a few.

- 60,000?

Take your f***in' briefcase,

and get the f*** out of my cell.

Sylvester, get this piece

of sh*t out of my cell.!

Jackie, pack up.

You're movin' out.

- Movin' out?

- Another cell block.

Is it bigger?

Oh, my God. Sylvester, listen.

My chair, I gotta have my chair.

I can't sleep without my chair.

- I'll talk to the guy.

- No, Sylvester. You don't understand.

I can't sleep without my chair.

I got a bad back. You see, when-

- What the hell are you still doing here?

- Aw, come on,Jackie.

- You owe me $60,000 for all the work I did so far.

- Oh, Rizzo.

Send me a bill. I'll wipe my ass with it.

Would that be okay?

- Oh, God.

- Get him the f*** out of here.

- He's all yours.

- Thanks,Jesse.

All the way to the end.

You wanna give me a hand?

Mr. Calabrese.!

Mr. Calabrese has no comment

at the present time.

Mr. Calabrese,

is the third time a charm?

Justice will prevail, and my client

will be exonerated. Thank you very much.

Mr. Calabrese, you think

you're a three-time loser?

Oh, look at you.

You dressed up.

- Hey, good to see you.

- How you been, huh?

- Good luck, bro.

- Nice chatting with you.

- Okay.

- Hey,Jackie.

- How are you?

- How you doing? Good?

- Yeah, good to see you.

- All right, all right. Don't be too obvious.

- They let you in here?

- Good haircut.

- Thank you.

- You're gonna look beautiful on TV.

- Carlo, how you doing?

- My man.

Hey, Nick. Good to see you.

What's good about it?

Jackie? I'm Ben Klandis.

- I'm handling Carlo Mascarpone's defense.

- How you doing?

Listen, is it true you're

gonna defend yourself?

What do I need with a lawyer?

So he can get me another 30 years?

- Last trial, I had apnea. You know what apnea is?

- Yeah, I know what apnea-

It's like a sleeping sickness. It's like

I slept through the whole f***in' trial.

I wake up, the judge

is sentencing me to 30 years.

The hammer comes down.

Bang! It felt like

it landed on my dick.

Nah, this time,

I take care of me myself.

Well, that's the problem.

It's not just you.

They get one of you for spitting on

the sidewalk, and all of you can go down.

R- I-C-O. The "C" in RICO,

it stands for conspiracy.

Conspiracy isn't hard to prove.

Two of you in the same room...

- that's conspiracy.

- I'm not gonna hurt nobody.

You're gonna have to go up against your

cousin, Tony Compagna. Ready for that?

That f***er's the reason

we're all here. He turned.

But you know what?

I'm gonna turn him back.

He's a junkie. Deep down inside

he loves me. He's mine.

Well, let me just, uh, get somebody to sit

with you so you don't make any legal errors.

It's a goddamn jungle in here.

Let me tell you something.

When they f***ed with me...

they woke a sleeping giant.

I'll handle it.

All rise.

The honorable

Sidney Finestein presiding.

Be seated.

Members of the jury, by law,

you have to be able to see the witness box.

- Can you all see the witness box?

- Yes, Your Honor.

Defendants, defense attorneys...

you may have to shift in your seats

a little to see the witnesses.

Sorry, it's the best we can do.

We've never had so many defendants before.

Counselor.

Ladies and gentlemen.

"We own New Jersey!"

This is the boast of a mob family...

that controlled an endless

list of criminal activities.

The term "conspiracy" in Latin...

means to breathe together.

And these defendants breathed

a life of crime together.

Our evidence will show

that Carlo Mascarpone...

was the underboss of the NewJersey

faction of the Lucchese crime family.

The Luccheses,

one of the Five Families...

as vicious and dangerous

a crew as any in the nation.

Gino Mascarpone. Gino ran

the day-to-day gambling...

loan-sharking and extortion

activities for his boss, Nick Calabrese.

Danny Roma,

family soldier and enforcer.

Alessandro Tedeschi,

loan-sharking and gambling.

Tino Bellochio,

numbers and gambling.

Dominic Crespi, gambling and numbers.

Jackie DiNorscio, cocaine distribution.

You'll get to know the rest

as we drag them up to the witness box.

Liars, sociopaths, murderers.

- This guy thinks he's Eliot Ness.

- He's good.

Finally,you will hear

from Tony Compagna...

Jackie DiNorscio's own cousin.

It was Mr. Compagna that started

the ball rolling in this investigation.

A man, who fearing for his life...

agreed to cooperate and tell all he knew

about the inner workings of this mob...

this group of leeches

that suck money...

out of every enterprise,

legitimate or illegitimate...

to support their

extravagant lifestyles.

Now, we will be asking you...

to examine an awesome

amount of evidence.

And I am sorry about that.

But the severity of these crimes...

against the people of this community...

in fact, all America...

make it necessary

for you to do just that.

Thank you.

We will now hear opening statements

from defense counsels.

Mr. Cellano represents,

uh, defendant Dominic Crespi.

...the government's tapes,

you will conclude...

that my client is not guilty

of anything more than-

Since when is it a crime

to wear fancy clothes...

and an expensive diamond pinky ring

and drive a Cadillac?

If you arrested everyone who ever made

a friendly wager on a sporting event...

you'd have to lock up half of

the people in this courtroom.

- You're up soon. You ready?

- And all of this in 40 years of driving.

I got nothing written down.

Well, what are you gonna say then?

How the f*** do I know?

This whole case is a joke, right?

Mr. Klandis is representing

defendant Carlo Mascarpone.

Right in front of you,

ladies and gentlemen...

is this Latin motto,

whose translation is.;

"Let justice be done,

though the heavens may fall. "

I have the fate

of Carlo Mascarpone in my hands.

There he is sitting near

his brother Gino.

They didn'tjoin the Lucchese family,

because they already had one...

the family created

by Mr. and Mrs. Mascarpone.

It's called biology.

You'll hear a lot about

my client's flamboyant lifestyle.

His wife, Rosalynd,

sits in this courtroom...

married 17 years, four children.

That's a lifestyle.

He goes to St. Lucy's church.

His wife teaches C.C.D.

That's a lifestyle.

Many of these defendants are related,

some are friends or neighbors...
