Judge declares mistrial in Gotti racketeering case
A federal judge declared a mistrial in the racketeering case against John A. Gotti the third time in a year as juries deadlocked over his claim he quit the family business. Gotti urged prosecutors to drop the case and move with his family to the Midwest. If convicted he faced up to 30 years in prison and remains free on $7 million bail.
