Jackie OrenaGUEST
So my grandfather went to trial, and basically they were able to give him three life sentences because he didn't really have a defense.

Jackie OrenaGUEST
My father and my uncle were also facing life sentences, um, due to this so-called war that was going on in the street.

Jackie OrenaGUEST
But the difference with them is during the time of my grandfather's conviction and the time of their trial, they were able to use investigators and stuff to kind of find out some of the information that was going on.

Jackie OrenaGUEST
Greg Scarpa ended up getting AIDS, and he went to a judge and was trying to, um, get more time taken off of his sentencing, 'cause he was out killing people.
