VINNIE GORGEOUS GUILTY; NOW FACES DEATH PENALTY

METROSEXUAL mobster Vincent 'Vinnie Gorgeous' Basciano has been found guilty of a gangland murder that could land him in the hands of the executioner. The diva-like desperado ordered the killing to smooth his rise to to the top of the Bonanno crime family. Already serving a lifetime jolt for attempted murder, Vinnie G was also convicted of racketeering, conspiracy and a trucklaod of other charges. The former beauty salon owner was torpedoed by for Bonanno boss turned canary Joseph Massino. The well-groomed thug was portrayed the feds as "a cold-blooded remorseless killer."
 Basciano orchestrated the killing of mob wannabe Randolph Pizzolo. The murder was payback for a drunken tirade by Pizzolo who demanded to be "made" a member of the crime family.
On tape, Basciano rationalized the murder: "He's a dangerous kid that doesn't ... listen."
Vain Vinnie has become almost as well-known for his diva-like antics as his criminal exploits. Before the trial began he won the right to wear five different suits to trial--one for each day of the week. And he complained and complained about just about everything.
But his days of complaining may be at an end: on Monday the jury begins deliberating on whether Vinnie will get the needle. A bad hair day indeed.
