  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Appellee, v. FRANK LOCASCIO, and JOHN GOTTI, Defendants-Appellants
Locascio challenges the district court's disqualification of attorney George Santangelo, arguing that the district court abused its discretion in disqualifying Santangelo.
Locascio argues that the district court improperly instructed the jury on conspiratorial liability.
Locascio contends that this instruction improperly allowed the jury to convict him for his "mere presence." Considering [**62] the above discussion, however, it is clear that the district court quite properly instructed the jury that presence under circumstances that advance the purposes of the conspiracy would be sufficient to support a finding of guilt.

 Frank LoCascio
LoCascio's lack of participation was so glaring--the excerpt played for the jury ran 37 pages--that prosecutor Laura Ward found it necessary to remind the jury that LoCascio was there during her questioning of the FBI's tape expert.
LoCascio is accused of talking part in one of the five murders in the indictment, but during the tapes that have been played so far, LoCascio is a heavy listener who says little, if anything, to incriminate himself.
According to the tapes, however, LoCascio was "made" back in the 1950's, when Carlo Gambino was boss, and under Gotti became a capo, acting underboss, and in 1990, the crime family's acting consigliere, or counselor.

 Locascio
Gambino family consigliere Frank (Frankie Loc) LoCascio was convicted of murder and racketeering charges along with Gotti in 1992.
LoCascio was present during many tape recorded conversations with Gotti that were played at trial - discussions that had taken place in a bugged apartment above the crime family's Little Italy base of operations, the Ravenite Social Club.
LoCascio didn't say much, but he was a good listener as Gotti uttered the most damning evidence against himself, admissions that he ordered the killings of three mobsters who had fallen out of favor.

LoCascio's father, Frank, served as Gotti's consigliere, or counselor, and the 1992 conviction of the men for murder and racketeering helped start the mob's downward spiral.
LoCascio told federal probation officials at the time that his work experience until the early 1980s consisted of making sandwiches in a delicatessen and stocking shelves at a supermarket.
LoCascio's lawyers have also filed motions to dismiss the charges, claiming that the feds knew all about their client's business affairs when they accepted his guilty plea in 1999 and agreed not to prosecute him for related crimes.

The court was and is obviously aware that detention of a defendant inhibits free and ready access to his counsel and the court was aware of Locascio's criminal history and his relationship with his mother.
As the defendant certainly knows, the order detaining Locascio was not issued by a magistrate or by some person not having original jurisdiction over the offense.
The crimes with which Locascio is charged are serious, the government's proof that he poses a danger to the community is strong, and the delay is not attributable to the government.
