In a headline that reads like it was ripped straight from The Sopranos, Robert Mormando, a confessed Gambino family gunman, broke two cardinal rules members of the mob are meant to follow while appearing in court for a hearing on Monday.
First Mormando admitted to being a government informant. Then he outed himself in court.
Mormando was appearing at a hearing on his sentence for his role in the shooting of a Queens bagel store owner in 2003. He came out while trying to negotiate himself a lower sentence, saying his cooperation with authorities was riskier than most, since he had lived for many years as a closeted gay man in the mob.
