Joe prefaced his comments about Cassie to say he wasn’t speaking to the legalities. He was speaking to the court of public opinion, which the prosecution is also leveraging, to make Cassie appear completely innocent. They’re trying to use Cassie to sway the jurors into convicting Puff when on the surface the charges are an overreach. The RICO was designed for people like Gotti who were getting people murdered, bribing jurors and committing crimes on a wide organizational scale. A lot of people are pushing back against Puff being overcharged, not him being in legal trouble. What they’re doing is a continuance of the racial double standards under the law. A lot of people on both sides (pro-Puff and pro-Cassie) are failing to see this because the powers that be know they can exploit us by triggering emotions, which they’ve been doing successfully for centuries.

Please name the last case the Feds overcharged. Not fumbled, but overcharged. They don't move "emotionally."

Uh what does naming the last case have to do with this case? Legal experts have said this is the first RICO they’ve seen with one defendant. And I was speaking to the Feds trying to sway public opinion as far as emotional reactions.

I understand all of that and I'm not really paying much attention to the trial itself. My main point in using the Gotti reference was that no matter how heinous the crime or complicit the witness was, they can still prove valuable in getting the defendant convicted. They spent way too long on that acting (hopefully) like they couldn't understand the opposing POV.

Understood but I don’t think the Gotti situation makes it more digestible. Sammy the Bull admitted to killing 15+ people. He shouldn’t have gotten such a light sentence regardless of how much he cooperated.
