Change in Tone[edit]

This article needs to read like encyclopedia entry, not tabloid article.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.100.175.243 (talk • contribs) 20:00, 28 December 2007‎

FBI Policies not mentioned[edit]

This article should mention the FBI policies of the 60s (late J. Edgar Hoover era) at the time when John Sonny Franzese was "convicted" of various crimes, where FBI policy often produced "key witnesses" that later admitted they were paid or "plea-bargained" to make false testimony.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.50.144.41 (talk • contribs) 17:53, 3 August 2011‎

Age[edit]

So did he die at 101 or 103? Other articles say he was the first centenarian prisoner which would make it 103 when he died. The opening paragraph says 101 though.--XANIA - ЗAНИA ^{Wikipedia talk |} ^{Wikibooks talk} 08:06, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Our lady of Mt Carmel[edit]

The church where Sonny’s funeral was Our Lady of MT Carmel. I believe it’s the one in Greenpoint Brooklyn. That’s the neighborhood he grew up in. The articles link takes you to the Our Lady of Mt Carmel in Harlem, Manhattan. That’s a different church. 68.129.107.154 (talk) 01:18, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
