His Eagles Upset The Patriots; Skinny Joey Looks To Upset Uncle Sam

 

Gang Land’s Jerry Capeci  writes

Philadelphia mob boss Joseph (Skinny Joey) Merlino had a big win Sunday: His beloved Philadelphia Eagles upset the Tom Brady-led Patriots to win their first Super Bowl in 52 years of trying. Now, Merlino, a hard-boiled gambler if there ever was one, is ready for a truly amazing parlay: upsetting the U.S. government and becoming the first mob boss to beat a racketeering indictment in more than 30 years

Mr. Capeci writes,  He was in court this week, full of Philadelphia pep, voicing confidence in the legal prowess of lead legal eagle Edwin Jacobs. “He’s doing a good job for me,” Merlino told Gang Land during a break in the action in the courtroom of Manhattan Federal Court Judge Richard Sullivan. “I’m optimistic,” he smiled, before walking off to chat with City of Brotherly Love supporters.

Skinny Joey, who watched with pride yesterday as Jacobs tore into the government’s key witness against him, the controversial turncoat mob associate John (J.R) Rubeo, has good reason to feel at least pretty good about his chances.    Gang Land News
