Gotti seeks to silence New York radio host

Lawyers push for gag order

NEW YORK (AP) -- Lawyers for John A. "Junior" Gotti want a radio host to stop trashing him on a drive-time morning show.

The host, Curtis Sliwa, once was the target of a failed hit allegedly arranged by the son of late mob boss John Gotti. On Wednesday, defense attorneys told a federal judge that Sliwa's on-air rants against their client could poison a jury in his racketeering case.

Each day, Sliwa "denigrates Mr. Gotti," attorney Jeffrey Lichtman said at a pretrial hearing in Manhattan. "He discusses the facts of the case in a highly inflammatory way."

U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin said she would wait for a formal motion before ruling on a possible gag order against Sliwa, a witness in the case.

2. Didn't Sliwa fake an abduction a few years back?

Wasting valueable police time and tax payer dollars? If so, who would take him seriously in the first place?

I wonder how long until Billy Joel's wife feels the same way?
