FRANK MORANO INTERVIEW – Matt and Frank Morano, veteran Producer, Radio and Podcast Host discuss the Criminal Justice System, The “Rat” system, and characters such as Greg Scarpa, Sammy Gravano, Joe Massino, Lindley DeVecchio, Anthony “Gaspipe” Casso, “Tommy Shots” Gioeli and Judge Lewis Kaplan. Frank reveals the heavy-handed treatment of Italian Americans that he sees frequently in the courtrooms of New York City, as he covers criminal cases. It happens al the time, he says, because of “the press, promotion and politics” involved. In this inside view, Frank talks about the close relationships he has formed over the years with many of the defendants and their families.
