I've been following this story about the Mob busts lately, including Charles "shaggy" Carneglia.

Trivia Question: Where was the Blue Fountain Diner located? (This was the place where Carneglia allegedly gutted Michael Cotillo in '77)

George & Alora ... ova hea!

Thirty-two years after the murder, police Feb. 7 arrested an alleged soldier in the Gambino crime family for the shooting death of decorated Court Officer Albert Gelb. "It took a long time, but now we got him," said Dennis W. Quirk, president of the New York State Court Officers Association, shortly after the indictment against Charles Carneglia, part of a massive case against organized crime that charged 61 of his cohorts with other wrongdoing, was announced.


Oh! but the mob guys only hurt each other:
Court Officer Albert Gelb was assassinated on 109th Street, near his home in Queens, by members of the mob as retaliation for making an off-duty arrest for gun possession in a restaurant.

Officer Gelb had just gone off-duty and was driving home when a car pulled up next to him and the occupant opened fired, striking Officer Gelb once. The suspect then got out of his car and shot Officer Gelb three more times.

Members of the John Gotti Crime Family were arrested and charged in federal court but the prosecution was unable to produce enough evidence. In February 2008 a suspect was indited for five murders, including the murder of Officer Gelb.

Court Officer Gelb was assigned to the Criminal Court in Brooklyn. He had served with the New York State Office of Court Administration for 3 years.
