John Gotti Trial Discussion - Larry King Live -

Broadcast in 1996 on CNN's Larry King Live. Prosecutors, lawyers, family and friends discuss aspects of John Gotti's 1992 conviction on rackeetering charges and subsequent imprisonment at the maximum security prison in Marion, Illinois. Included on the broadcast was John Gotti's self - professed "Adopted son", Lewis Kasman. In his appearence on the show he exhibited a fiece loyalty to John Gotti and outrage at his treatment by the federal government. This stands in direct contrast to his work as a confidential informant for law enforcement, recording conversations with alledged members of organised crime and members of John Gotti's personal family. After relocating to Florida, Kasman's name made headlines again in 2015 as he faced charges of felony theft and fraud.
