That Jack Weinstein, what a mensch.

The Brooklyn federal judge sentenced reputed Genovese associate and food caterer Frank DiMattina to six years in prison on extortion and gun convictions but otherwise will allow him to remain free pending the lengthy appeals process as reported by John Marzulli for the Daily News: "the judge was concerned that ordering DiMattina to begin serving the sentence immediately might jeopardize the jobs of 60 employees of DiMattina’s catering hall, Ariana’s Grand, in Woodbridge, N.J."

Weinstein pulled a similar stunt in 2008 when he spared reputed Gambino soldier and Brooklyn restaurateur Joseph Chirico from prison on a money laundering conviction as then reported by Kati Cornell for the New York Post: "Judge Jack Weinstein said he was hesitant to cut Chirico a break, but wanted to ensure Chirico's workers stay employed."

We used to have some good friends who lived in Brooklyn Heights. They said that a number of Mafia bosses lived in the neighborhood back then, as well as some judges. As a result, the neighborhood was extremely safe, because petty criminals didn’t dare do any business there. There’s always an upside and a downside to everything, I guess.

This country has waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many Federal “judges”.

These judges have waaaay too much time on their hand if they can judge cases after a long hard day of earning their wages by creating law.

His clients don't like resistance.

Don't be surprised to find out the judge just bought a new mansion, and has vacation plans in the Cayman Islands.
