I'm surprised that this article has no mention of the "baby killing" incident. Mad Dog Coll was blamed for it, but eye witnesses actually identified Coppolla, a man named "Grego" and an accomplice named "Louis". Thus the Coll case ended in perjury. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.252.167 (talkcontribs)


Coppola was acting boss?

I've never heard of that. What is the source?--Mantanmoreland 16:42, 16 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

~~Coppola was never "in charge of Luciano family"~~

Bosses in his lifetime were Luciana (1931-1936),Genovese (1936-1937, 1957-1959), Costello (1937-1957), Catena and Eboli(acting bosses until Genovese's death in prison in 1969). In fact, it doesn't appear he was ever under boss (Genovese, Adonis, Pisano, etc.). He was a flamboyant, powerful gangster. A top earner but too volatile and careless to be entrusted with the top position.
