Defense Attorney:
You're currently in the federal witness protection program, Is that correct? Vincent 'Vinnie' Antonelli:
Yes. Defense Attorney:
So you're living somewhere in America, under the protection of the federal government. You agreed to testify against Mr. Gatzo, and in exchange for this testimony you've been given immunity, a nice house, and a weekly paycheck. Is that correct? Vincent 'Vinnie' Antonelli:
[conspiritorialy]
That's not all I get. Defense Attorney:
Ah. Well, perhaps you'd like to enlighten the jury as to what else the government is giving you in exchange for this testimony? Vincent 'Vinnie' Antonelli:
Sure. [turns to the jury, very earnestly] Vincent 'Vinnie' Antonelli:
I get to never see my parents again. Or my loved ones. I get to live in a place... It's OK, don't get me wrong... The air is clean and the people are nice, but for a guy like me, who was raised on the sidewalks of the city that never sleeps, it's a living hell. There were times when I thought of giving it all up, particularly when my wife left me. They gave us a nice house, with flowers in front. It made us sick. But I made a deal with the government so I'm here to tell the truth. So if you think I'm saying what I'm saying about Mr. Gatzo killing Nicky Capelli only because of the deal, you got a point. But it's still the truth
