There’s still a big public fascination with the Gotti family. But the judge isn’t so fascinated to the point that he’s willing to move forward without more evidence on the table.

NEW YORK –A Manhattan judge is giving John A. (Junior) Gotti’s prosecutors a week to put up or shut up.
During a pre-trial hearing Wednesday, Federal Judge Kevin Castel quizzed Assistant U.S. Attorney Elie Honig on why he hasn’t offered details of crimes the mob scion allegedly committed in the five years before his 2008 indictment.
“Is that it?” Castel prodded the prosecutor.
The feds say that during the 1980s and early 1990s, the Dapper Don’s kid had a hand in three gangland slayings and trafficked in drugs.
