John Gotti Jr

He says, John, on cue, the doors burst open, and Roy Cohen, this little diminutive man, walks in, and he's not even paying attention. It's like he's aloof. His glasses are down, he's reading something, he's just walking by, and people are trying to say hello, and he's not even acknowledging them. He's just walking right past them. He's walking right by, okay?

And he gets to the front, and he says, how are you, Your Honor? He says, Roy Cohen here for John Gotti. My father's looking. He don't know Roy Cohn. He's looking at him. Mike Cohn was my lawyer. And he's saying, well, Mike. So no, no, no, no. So Mike's whispering to Roy. And Roy tells him, sit down. And he sits down. You've got to be kidding me. Sit down.

And he says, Your Honor, we're asking for an extension here. And he says, John. The whole vibe in the courtroom changed. Everything completely changed. Like that. The judge gave the extension. Next thing you know, he negotiated the plea. Seven years, multiple witnesses. He was accused of murder. Seven years. I had to do three years on this. I do that standing on my head in the box, he said.

It goes back to McCarthyism. He was powerful back then. Senator McCarthy, when he he saw something, he saw a quality in this young Roy Cohen. And again, I've never watched anything on Roy Cohen, but it's an observation that you make when you're reading books and things of that nature. Haven't only met him one time and bits and pieces of tidbits of stories that my father had told me.
