Gambino Family mobster John "Junior" Gotti has offered to sing like a canary, but he wants to select his own play list:
quote:

. . .

According to the letter, he doesn't want to be asked whether he laundered money, ran a loan sharking business, tampered with witnesses, extorted people in the construction industry or conspired to kidnap Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa.

"Those questions would serve no purpose other than to confuse the issues and to harass, annoy and humiliate Mr. Gotti," his attorney Sarit Kedia wrote in the letter to U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin.

There also is another concern: While Gotti is prepared to testify about his own actions, Kedia wrote, he is unwilling to testify about "certain facts" that "might implicate other people in crimes."

. . .



Fascinating list of proposed taboo subjects, isn't it? Where's the good, categorical, old-time Omertà in these strange, modern times?
