Jackie DiNorscio

Who was Jackie DiNorscio?

Giacomo "Jackie" DiNorscio was a member of the Philadelphia and later the Lucchese crime families. DiNorscio died near the end of the shooting of the film Find Me Guilty, which portrayed his participation as his own lawyer in the The United States v. Anthony Accetturo et al. RICO trial, famous for being the longest federal trial in history. This trial was conducted while DiNorscio was already incarcerated on separate drug charges. He was ultimately found not guilty after an amazingly short deliberation of the jury. After the trial, DiNorscio went back to prison; he was released on November 23, 2002, after serving 17.5 years of a 30 year sentence.
