New York – Bonanno crime-family boss Vincent “Vinny Gorgeous” Basciano was found guilty this afternoon on all charges by a Brooklyn jury and now faces the death penalty.
The federal jury convicted former Bonanno crime boss Vincent Basciano of capital murder Monday – only the second time in 30 years that a Mafioso has faced the death penalty for a gangland rubout.
Basciano, 51, must now wait as the jury decides whether he should die by lethal injection for ordering the murder of mob associate Randolph Pizzolo or get life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Basciano is already serving a life sentence for another murder in 2001.

Brave jurors!
“whether he should die by lethal injection”
What about cement boots?
BSD, he has big feet and they couldn’t find his size cement boots. They will be injecting him with herring juice-trust me he won’t enjoy it.
Schmaltz??? Yum – What a way to go!
A mafioso kills another of his ilk and gets the death penalty? What about the other murderers of children and civilians??
