Victims plead for clemency for Di Rubbio at trial
New York Vincent Di Rubbio was freed from prison after neighbors Perkins and Kerr asked Brooklyn judge Marasco to spare him. Perkins, 40, and Kerr, 32, testified that Di Rubbio, 31, shot them during a December quarrel. Perkins said the act was highly excited, not premeditated, as Di Rubbio agreed to pay $5,000 for the lost leg and $1,000 for wounds in installments. Marasco suspended the sentence.
