A former mob lawyer who turned canary against Bonanno crime-family boss Vincent “Vinny Gorgeous” Basciano was sentenced Friday to time served — three days — by the same judge Basciano once tried to have killed.
Basciano was eventually convicted on racketeering charges, including acts of murder and murder conspiracy, and is serving life in prison. Lee declined to comment through his lawyer, Joel Cohen, though the attorney lauded the sentence. “I think he earned the sentence he got,” Cohen said.
