(From the "New York Times")
Federal prosecutors made the unexpected announcement(yesterday)that they were dropping murder conspiracy charges against (41 year-old)John Gotti.
The charges, that he ordered the murders of Curtis Sliwa, a radio talk-show host, and two other men, were at the heart of the prosecutors' case.

Sliwa says he suspects the government is not pursuing the charge against John "Junior" Gotti because it's not certain the evidence would result in a conviction.
But Assistant U-S Attorney Michael McGovern says Gotti still will face a charge of conspiring to kidnap Sliwa when the case goes to trial next month.<P ID="signature">______________
