Judge Upholds Deliberation In Johnny Dio Racketeering Case
An all male jury failed to reach a verdict in the racketeering case against Johnny Dio and two union officials. The jurors were sent back to deliberate after a night session, with a second 11 am Thursday deadline set by Judge John A. Mullen. The trial charged conspiratorial extortion of 30 000 from two firms seeking labor peace, and Dio faced additional accusations of engineering an acid attack on reporter Victor Riesel. Prosecution witnesses in Riesel’s case declined to testify and no witnesses were called by either side. Some company officials admitted paying 10 000 in bribes.
