John "Junior" Gotti seemingly has his father's knack for avoiding conviction.

Federal prosecutors have decided not to seek a fifth racketeering trial against the 45-year-old Gotti, the son of one of the most notorious mobsters in the United States, the Teflon Don, John Gotti.

While the Gambino family crime boss eventually was convicted of racketeering, the younger Gotti, who insists he left organized crime a decade ago, avoided conviction in four trials. There won't be a fifth.

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara issued a one-paragraph statement Wednesday saying prosecutors had decided not to seek another trial "in light of the circumstances." Judge Kevin Castel signed an order approving the request to drop the case.

One of Gotti's lawyers, Seth Ginsberg, called the move to drop the case the "right decision" and added, "I hope that they stick to it this time and let John and his family be at peace......"

My reading of the Bill of Rights says there never should have been a second trial.

In the pic of JG wearing the t-shirt, prison life and throat cancer was not knid to him. Read on Wiki that due to his throat cancer, his lower jaw had to be removed, therby neccessatating the need to be fed through an IV tube. But I can't find it within myself to feel one iota of sympathy for him. He deserved everything he got while in prison.
BTW, here is a pic of him after he was jumped by someone in the Big House:
