GH has skillfully spun every Sonny/Jason mob murder as protecting the family. Every one has been against someone gunning for them. This murder though , Sonny's first murder wasn't self defense in any way . Sonny is not the misunderstood mobster here . The question is how is GH going to whitewash this one?

Why does a mobster have to be whitewashed? A mobster killed another mobster, it happens.Shelly, Moderator

How sad it is that we give up on people who are just like us.- Mr. Rogers.-
Well, technically, all we know is that Vincent Marino was Joe Scully's lawyer who had become a "problem." We don't know what kind of a problem he actually presented. Would you consider someone 'connected' snuffing Diane or Alexis a mobster killing another mobster? -
Not really, but I don't expect mobsters to be good people. Sonny killed someone, it kind of goes with the territory. -
Murder is still murder. The character of the victim doesn't matter in the eyes of the law. He should have a trial and possibly a lot of prison time.

Not sure what you're talking about regarding whitewashing. Sonny is a mobster. He chose a life with mobsters, and the guy he killed was in the mob too. Sonny is aware that he will probably end up dead as a result of another mobster. That's simply how that world works. So nothing needs to be whitewashed. If you hang out with mobsters and take money as a mobster and live in that world, there's a good chance you'll die in it too.Comment

Well, AJ certainly wasn't gunning for the Corinthos family. But the writers manage to sweep that one under the rug. They'll do what they always do with the Gummi MobComment

I think we already know the answer...Mike will confess on his deathbed, and Sonny will let him take the rap posthumously.Comment

Somebody will find out that Margaux stole and kept Drew's flash drive and will blackmail her. Ta-da! End of story.Comment
-
The flash drive is only one reason the case will fall apart. The DA can't be behind an investigation and trial where the victim is her father. Especially when she told everyone and their brother that she was gunning for Sonny the minute she came to town.
It's really just a silly sideshow. I wish they hadn't dragged Mike's Alzheimer's story down with this foolishness.Comment

I'm not sure if this is the question being asked...but if anyone is wondering how Sonny is going to get away with this murder... I think the answer is pretty simple... Margaux is the DA...if the guy found in her basement is her Father...she can NOT be the one to prosecute Sonny for this crime...she has to bow out because this case is to close to her because it involves a family member so it would be considered prejudicial for her to proceed...and it would be considered bias for her to go after Sonny...she has to turn it over to another DA...but she is thick-headed and not very bright...so she is going to continue to investigate and whatever evidence points to Sonny she is going to run with it...arrest him and hold him over for trial and try to get him convicted ...but once the Trail starts Diane is going to bring it The Court's attention this victim was the DA's Father...the case will be thrown out...and because of Double Jeopardy Sonny can not be charged again...so Sonny walks...and the DA leaves town in disgrace

So all of a sudden proper protocol matters. How many times has Dante arrested his father or one of his brothers? It would be weak if all of a sudden it matters now. But of course that's exactly what will happen. Because the great Sonny Corinthos has to always win. -
A cop arresting a family member is not the same as a DA having a personal vendetta against The Defendant who she believes killed her Father...she has to recuse herself and turn it over to another DA to prosecute...and if she doesn't do that...and so far she is too stubborn to let anyone else take over...it will be considered unethical behavior so any evidence will be tainted...so if she continues being the one in charge of trying to convict Sonny...this case will be
doomed before it even starts.

This happened a while ago and Mike has a bad illness with his memory and he is going downhill fast so I don't think anything is going to happen to Sonny or Mike sorry they might start a trail and I bet Mike gets real sick and the trail will never finish and Margo might have to back off the whole trialComment

I don’t know why people are saying somehow Vincent Marino was a mobster. He was a criminal defense attorney no different than Diane. Further he seems to have been murdered because he could no longer live with defending Joe Scully’s increasingly violent criminal activities.Comment
-
We don't know why Marino was murdered. Only Margaux's version of what her mother told her. And most mothers are not going to make the father sound like a criminal/ -
Exactly we don't know the details of why he was killed...Mob lawyers work for The Mob...and yes this includes a Lawyer like Diane...she knows her clients Sonny & Jason are far from innocent...but because of the big bucks they pay her she doesn't care...she put herself in that situation so she knows just like Scully's Lawyer if you screw them over...you're the one who will get screwed...so it's a decision they make when they agree to represent them...and they
not only know the risks...they willingly take that risk. -
I can’t believe that people are now actually justifying the murder of a lawyer because of their clients. Everyone has a constitutional right to an attorney. Founding father John Adams chose to defend British soldiers he witnessed murdering Bostonians.
In any case where were all of you when Julian was going to murder Alexis. She knew what she signed up for marrying and snitching on a mobster. It’s the life she chose, Julian deserves a path.

Why does Sonny have to be whitewashed? Unless it is changed, Sonny explained why he did it. It was a test to move up in the Scully organization/Comment
-
^^^
which means Sonny did the equivalent of street gangs murdering random people they come across to join up. It’s actually probably the most disgusting crime Sonny has done. Just murdered someone and disappeared the body just to prove he can do it.Comment
-
He didn't murder a random person. The person was Scully's lawyer. He wasn't just walking down the street murdering innocent people
Yes, murder in real life is disgusting. But on a tv show, mobsters killing mobsters is part of the business. -
The body was wrapped in a shower curtain and placed in a trunk. It was some random person to Sonny. He certainly never crossed Sonny or did harm to him or a loved one. Sonny murdered him to make his bones. No different than MS13 member killing someone to show their meddle. -
The person was part of the business. He was a lawyer so he had other choices about what he could do. He chose to get involved with the Mob and he likely knew the risks. So, imo, he wasn't a random person. Unlike say Franco taking Lulu and sitting her on a bomb when Maxie wasn't there.

But it doesn’t it make it okay for sonny to kill himOriginally posted by Maxum View PostComment

Did I miss Sonny deciding that he doesn't want to be a mobster anymore? As far as I can tell he has always been a mobster, and if that is the case why are we surprised that he has killed someone? I've never known a mobster person to never have killed someone. Not everything has to be white washed. Yes, he will likely get away with it because prison stories are stupid boring but that doesn't mean anyone will forget his crimeShelly, Moderator

Do we have another re-write? Originally, Sonny was just tasked with burying a body. Now, he’s the killer. A few months ago, when Margaux first talked about her father, didn’t she say that her mother had said he had gotten involved with some bad guys? I don’t recall him being a lawyer. Wasn’t he simply described as a low level mobster? Now he’s a criminal defense attorney. Tomorrow he’ll be an innocent bystander who got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. They’re making up this story as they go along.Comment
-
He was a criminal defense attorney.
He got involved with bad people.
Both of those things can be true.
Neither of those things justify his execution and disappearance. -
^^ To me, it depends on whether he was a mobster who knowingly participated in criminal activities or if he was a legit attorney who happened to have mob clients (not unlike the difference between Max and Diane). If I am remembering correctly, Margaux’s father was presented as the former, at least initially. If that’s the case, then violence was part of his lifestyle. I don’t condone his murder but I also don’t particularly care about it. That said, the point of my post was to point out that the underlying facts of the “body in the basement†story may have changed once again.
