 NEW YORK (AP) - Jurors were presented with two portraits of John "Junior" Gotti on the first day of his retrial on federal racketeering charges — a ruthless mobster and a reformed family man.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Joon Hyun Kim told jurors during opening arguments Tuesday that Gotti was like his father, former Gambino crime family boss John Gotti, a merciless, violent mobster.
But defense lawyer Charles Carnesi said the son was out of the mob and ready to start a new and honorable legacy for the Gotti family's legacy.
