Defense attorneys for Michael Marcello introduced an innovative way to praise their client during his sentencing hearing on Tuesday.
At least he's not mob killer Frank Calabrese Sr.
Attorney Catharine O'Daniel noted that Calabrese Sr., convicted in the Family Secrets trial, tried to bring his two sons into Outfit business.
Michael Marcello wanted his son as far away as possible from that life, O'Daniel argued.
Marcello's son, Sam, made a heartfelt plea for father before U.S. District Judge James Zagel.
"My greatest memories are my times with him," Sam Marcello said.
He said his father rarely missed any of his athletic events and helped turn his life around when he was having a tough time in his teens.
"I don't know many people who have shown that resolute dedication to their children," Sam Marcello said.
"He's a decent man. He's remorseful. Family is everything to this man."
Comments
Poor Sam must have been the only kid playing sports in his town, where I come from we have hundreds of kids with attached "resolute and dedictaed" parents.
The old man was outfit so he goes to jail, end of story.
