Nine reputed Gambino mobsters were sentenced on Wednesday and Thursday to light prison terms ranging from 18 months to 100 months after variously pleading guilty to the usual mob rackets such as sex trafficking, drug distribution, and gambling, loansharking and extortion as reported by Courthouse News Service. The nine defendants were among the fourteen indicted in April 2010. The other five defendants, including reputed boss Dan Marino, previously have been sentenced. Marino was sentenced last January to five years in prison after pleading guilty to green lighting a 1998 hit on his Bonanno associate nephew Frank Hydell whom mobsters feared was cooperating with the feds. If these boys were a black crew from the Crips or Bloods would the sentences have been as lenient?
