Lawyer: Ain’t ‘write’ to jail Mafia killer

A LAWYER for the Bonanno crime family’s imprisoned ex-boss is throwing the book at two federal judges.

Mobster Vincent (Vinny Gorgeous) Basciano’s murder and racketeering convictions deserve reconsideration because of a conflict of interest between the jurists and a Connecticut law professor-turned-author, the boss’ lawyer claims.

“The fact that Mr. Basciano is an alleged ‘Mafioso’ doesn’t mean that the courts get to play fast and loose with the law and its duty to remain impartial,” charged defense attorney Anthony DiPietro.

The lawyer asserted in court papers that U.S. District Court of Appeals Judge Reena Raggi and Brooklyn Federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis provided special treatment to writer Leonard Orland.

The author, while covering Basciano’s death penalty case for his 2015 book “Capital Punishment Trials of Mafia Murderers,” engaged in “off-the-record contact” with both judges.

DePietro argues the judges should have avoided a book “detrimental to (Basciano) and his case generally, as explicitly evidenced by its title labeling him a ‘Mafia Murderer.’”
