FROM THE NEWSROOM: BOSTON (AP) — The top federal prosecutor for Massachusetts says the murder conviction of an 84-year-old former New England Mafia boss "ends a long and dark chapter" in the city of Boston.
U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling spoke to reporters Friday after jurors found Francis "Cadillac Frank" Salemme and his co-defendant, Paul Weadick, guilty of the 1993 killing of Steven DiSarro.
Lelling said he hopes the conviction provides some measure of peace and justice for DiSarro's family members, who for years never knew what happened to their husband and father.
DiSarro's remains weren't found until 2016 when the FBI received a tip that they were buried near a mill building in Providence, Rhode Island.
Salemme's attorney said they will appeal the conviction. Weadick and Salemme will be sentenced in September.
