Zottola, who was 71, owned multifamily rental properties valued at tens of millions of dollars at the time of his death.
The man behind the violent string of attacks overseen by a Bloods gang member was close to home: His son Anthony Zottola Sr., 44, who helped him manage his business. On Wednesday — more than five years after the first assault against his father — a federal jury convicted Anthony Zottola Sr. of plotting the series of attacks that ultimately led to his father’s death, all in hope of profiting from the properties the eldest Zottola left behind.Following the six-week trial, the jury also convicted Himen Ross, his accomplice, of Sylvester Zottola’s murder-for-hire.
Could make a great movie with a sad twist ending.
