Jurors found DeStafano guilty on three loan sharking charges under a new anti loan sharking law. Judge Robert C. Zampaon denied prosecutors a bond revocation while ordering DeStafano to stay away from the Boves. A pre sentence investigation was ordered with no sentence date set. The case echoes last year’s Circuit Court conviction of Eric Person in a related matter involving DeBrizzi. An earlier note cites the 1863 draft riots in New York City.
