Murder Inc Irv Gotti Case Ammendments Granted

GOTTI'S WISH GRANTEDRap mogul IRV 'GOTTI' LORENZO got his wish granted in court yesterday (19MAY05), when a judge tentatively granted his request to have his money laundering case severed from the murder and racketeering charges surrounding other defendants.The MURDER INC boss - along with his brother CHRISTOPHER - filed a separation motion through lawyer GERALD SHARGEL on 25 April (05), arguing that their trial would be tainted in light of their co-defendants, who include convicted drug lord KENNETH 'SUPREME' McGRIFF, reports MTV NEWS.Logistically, there are several ways the case may proceed, according to the US attorney's office, from trying all the defendants together but with two juries, to holding two or three separate trials. Shargel says he's pleased with the decision and hopes to get a separate trial for his clients. Gotti is scheduled to go to trial on 17 October (05).
