SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 8 – Domenic Aiello was a
government cooperator in a
two-person crime spree that he
largely led. It began in the
Staten Island Mall.
On April
8, U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Paul G. Gardephe held a
re-sentencing. Inner City
Press covered it.
The US Attorney's
Office again came forward with
a 5K letter.
But Judge
Gardephe said that the person
Aiello testified against,
Bonanno, probably would not
have been involved, in bank
fraud and stealing packages,
but for Aiello.
Judge Gardephe
recounted that Aiello was born
in Colombia, then adopted by a
New York prosecutor and NYS
Supreme Court justice. Now he
lives in a homeless shelter,
on SNAP, with a Section 8
certificate for the
future.
Aiello would
drive around stealing
packages, telling ex-cop
Bonanno that he was picking up
mail at his father's
properties.
Bonanno was
prosecuted for conscious
avoidance, while Aiello got a
cooperator's deal.
Judge
Gardephe sentenced Aiello to a
year and a day. The Federal
Defender asked for it to start
in six months. Judge Gardephe
denied it, saying it had
already been delayed 14
months.
Aiello
himself spoke up, saying he
has to taken nine pills a day.
Judge
Gardephe said a medical letter
should be submitted to him,
but that the prison sentence
starts April 17.
The case is US v.
Aiello, 18-cr-427 (Gardephe)
