 | A lawyer for the Bonanno crime family’s imprisoned ex-boss is throwing the book at a pair of federal judges.
Mobster Vincent 'Vinny Gorgeous' Basciano’s murder and racketeering convictions deserve another look because of a conflict of interest between the jurists and a Connecticut author, the boss’ lawyer claims.
In 2012, the court of appeals rejected Basciano’s appeal for the shotgun murder of Frank Santoro on a Bronx street. He was also convicted for orchestrating the 2004 murder of mob associate Randolph Pizzolo. |  |
