From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Deliberations were apparently back on track in the assault trial of reputed Mafia boss John Gotti in New York City. A day earlier, Acting Justice Edward McLaughlin had told bickering jurors to stop attacking one another and try to work together. Gotti, 49, reputed head of the Gambino crime family, is accused of ordering the wounding of John O’Connor, the business agent of Carpenters Union Local 608. The violence was allegedly ordered in retaliation for the trashing of a Gambino-owned restaurant built with non-union labor.
