Giuliani looked me in the eye in that courtroom and said, "Franzese, if I convict you on this case, you're getting 100 years." I looked right back and said, let's go for round five.
This is the case nobody ever talks about — one of the very first RICO trials ever used against the mob, before the famous Commission case, before any of it. I was a defendant. I know exactly what happened. Now there's a book written about it — Wise Guys, Rabbis and the FBI by Mel Cooper — and I'm giving you my side of the story. The backroom deals, the FBI undercover agent who told the truth, the defendant who walked out of prison by mistake on a 30-year sentence, and the moment I called my future wife and said pack your bags, we're getting married in Vegas. It's all here.
