Later Years
In 1993, Philip Leonetti was released from prison after serving only five years. Since then, Leonetti has made television appearances in which he describes the mob life and his uncle's thirst for blood and power. However, Leonetti usually downplayed his own murderous deeds. Crazy Phil's son has apparently made his way to medical school after having the positive influence of the Leonetti family's new life, a fact that has made the aging former mob hitman, capo, underboss, and now government witness very proud.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active—not more happy—nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
“Unlike Boswell, whose Journals record a long and unrewarded search for a self, Johnson possessed a formidable one. His life in London—he arrived twenty-five years earlier than Boswell—turned out to be a long defense of the values of Augustan humanism against the pressures of other possibilities. In contrast to Boswell, Johnson possesses an identity not because he has gone in search of one, but because of his allegiance to a set of assumptions that he regards as objectively true.”
—Jeffrey Hart (b. 1930)
