This is why movies like the French "A Prophet," "A Gang Story," and "36th Precinct" eclipse anything Hollywood does on crime save for maybe Scorsese's Goodfellas...or Dustin Hoffman's "Straight Time."

    Defense attorneys often say the most difficult client to defend is the one who’s truly innocent. An innocent person with no links to sketchy people isn’t able to provide a premeditated, bogus alibi for whereabouts during the time of the crime, he’s not able to throw a criminal rival to the prosecution in order to get the heat off him, he can’t give up co-conspirators for a reduced sentence. All the guy can say is he doesn’t know what happened, and he has no clue who would commit the crime. That’s the American Justice System hard at work in blind pursuit of the truth

      @@lordoffaiyum9727 No he wasn't. According to Al Demeo, Roy's son, and Mickey Featherstone from the Westies, the Iceman was a fraud. The Westies were the only Irish Gangsters outside of the Italian Mafia , that did hits for Demeo. Michael Franzese & Sammy "Bull" Gravano have said that the Iceman is a fraud and that they have plenty of made men who are not big earners and they are responsible for carrying out most of the hits for nothing.

    When they signed this deal with him I would be willing to bet big money that all the agents involved had the mindset of he will never make it out of prison alive. Having enemies on one side is bad enough but having them from both is a challenge that most don't come out on top. The fact that he did is pretty crazy if you think about it!

      Nobody in prison had the balls to come at Johnny. And the fact is, nobody wanted to. He only testified against Bulger Flemmi and corrupt FBI agents. He flat out, refused to testify against anyone else. If Steve Flemmu had made that deal, everybody would have went to jail. Johnny kept a lot of people out of jail by ratting. And really, nobody wants to go at a guy Who's the size of an NFL full back and has killed 20 people. Especially in prison where there are no guns.
