Philadelphia City Council member Rick Mariano speaks in council chambers, Thursday, March 17, 2005, in Philadelphia. Mariano came down from the observation level of city hall, possibly after contemplating suicide, his spokesman said. 'We don't know if he was just morose or whether or not this was contemplation of suicide,' Frank Keel, Mariano's spokesman said. (AP Photo/Joseph Kaczmarek)
I was in Philly recently and a reporter thrust a mike into this guy and asked "Have you done anything that can be deemed outright illegal." His reply "I cant answer that. My lawyer will release a statement".
Talk about typical criminal behaviour.

It would have been pretty tough for Mariano to have killed himself from City Hall Tower, what with the observation deck being totally enclosed with plexiglass.
If it were possible, I belive that Street would have pushed him.
