Assistant U.S. Atty. John Scully walked over to the defense tables and pointed out the men on trial one by one as he addressed jurors in a low, tense voice. Frank Calabrese Sr., a reputed Outfit hit man charged in 13 slayings, sometimes used a length of rope to strangle his victims, Scully said on the first day of the landmark Family Secrets mob trial.Reputed Outfit boss James Marcello, he said, lured Anthony Spilotro, the mob overseer in Las Vegas, and his brother, Michael, to their violent deaths.
Scully asked jurors to dismiss the glamorized mob of the entertainment world as he laid out the government's gritty evidence in the most significant prosecution against the Chicago Outfit in years.
Testimony is likely to begin Monday in a trial expected to last at least three months. The jury has nine men and 10 women, including seven alternates.
