Fresh off his release on $350,000 bail, Carmine Devita of South Trenton, NJ was greeted by his son Nicky, daughter Rosemarie, and wife Stella outside the courthouse. Two towering bodybuilders in NABBA t-shirts were also in hand as well as members of the Carpenters Union local 184 which Devita ran for almost nineteen years uninterrupted. Devita spent days in the city lockup, was then transferred to a county jail and was finally put in a halfway house (even though he's had no drug addiction. "The judge just didn't want to allow my client his right to post bail," surmized new defense attorney Bruce Carter-Stevens on the courthouse steps. "Mr. Devita has no criminal record except for minor traffic offenses and a bum aggravated battery complaint in 1991 that was dismissed the when the plantiff failed to appear in court and/or for jury duty some years later."
Devita's new co-counsel Sim Lee Dong also interjected, "it's also well known that our client has a rivalry with one Bob Cicherillo over a show placing. I would like to officially make the offer that Mr. Devita would like a sit-down attended by himself, his parter Mr. Ricci, Mr. Cicherillo, and Mr. Cicherillo's consigliere Mr. Prince to be held in Las Vegas. The factions need to settle on peace, the war needs to end."
But insider sources in and around Venice Beach speculate that Bob may not be all for shaking hands just yet. According to rumors in L.A., Cicherillo has enlisted a formidable army of NPC rejects, as well as hiring Mike Matarazzo and Mighty Mike Sheridan to go on the rampage against Carmine & co. Carmine, whom enjoys protection from his NABBA boys and the Carpenter's Union in South Trenton seems untouchable on his side of the country. An anonymous source claims, "Bob may have been responsible for Carmine's arrest, also a drugged out black inmate named Paul took a dump in Carmine's freshly washed whites laundry basket...a trademark Bob Cicherillo strategy.'" The source that chose to remain nameless, works at a Chinese restaurant in L.A. and has never met Bob Cicherilo but swears he's in the right.
