There is no logic to clipping a rat after he already testified. The damage is done and the crackdown from the feds is gonna be huge if a federal witness gets killed. Henry Hill wasn't worth the bullet.
That being said some are more vindictive than others, and it does happen. A guy named Joe Barboza from Boston was killed 8 years after he testified. They tracked him down to San Francisco and shotgunned him in broad daylight. Another guy from the Lucchese family called "Fat" Pete Chiodo was shot 12 times before testifying, but he survived. After that they killed his uncle and shot his sister in the head(she survived too).
