Mobster's honeymoon cut short by federal indictment, heads to jail despite wife's plea
Edited on Wed Dec-01-10 08:15 PM by rocktivity
A mobster and his beautiful bride will live happily ever after - once he's finished serving his prison sentence.

Vito Pipitone, whose Hawaiian honeymoon was interrupted by a federal indictment...was sentenced to 3 1/2 years Tuesday...for stabbing two young men...(he)...suspected of breaking windows at (a) restaurant...which was under mob protection. (He) has been under house arrest and forced to wear an electronic bracelet while free on a $400,000 bond signed by his parents and in-laws...Pipitone's brother...a reputed Bonanno capo, also pleaded guilty to the attack.

...(Fourteen) letters (were) submitted to the judge from family members and his 29-year-old wife, Paula. "Vito and I were married on Oct. 4, 2009," she wrote..."Two days later our world was shattered...This has not been the easiest first year of marriage...I would love for nothing more than to have a normal marriage that most take for granted..." She described her husband as "kind and warm-hearted..."

"Vito Pipitone's honeymoon was basically taken from him and his wife,"...Defense lawyer Joseph Mure...argued...(He also) made a last-minute attempt to loosen the home confinement so his client could enjoy the holidays before surrendering Jan. 12.

Mrs. Piptione should look on the bright side: if her family hadn't been able to raise the money, she wouldn't even have had him at home!
