photograph of Bonanno family members Joseph Massino and Gerlando
Sciascia in Whitestone, Queens. This photograph was taken the
morning after the May 5, 1981 murder of three rival Bonanno captains,
a murder masterminded by Massino and committed by both him and
Sciascia among others. Massino would have Sciascia killed
approximately 18 years later in April of 1999, and would become a
cooperating witness for the government in 2004 after being sentenced
to life in prison as well as facing the prospect of the death
penalty in a separate trial for Sciascia's murder.

all three of the men in this photograph would be cooperating
witnesses for the government.
