!! The government wants to play a Godfather 2 clip for the jury in the Stone trial to show what Stone was referencing when he allegedly made a veiled threat to Randy Credico. 
The relevant section:
“Watching the movie clip and seeing the context in which Pentangeli delivers the lines that Stone quotes to Person 2 makes clear that Stone’s messages were not mere references to Person 2’s abilities as an impressionist, but rather were a suggestion that Person 2 testify falsely”
JUST IN: Roger Stone opposes prosecutors being allowed to play a Godather II clip during his trial because it'll make Stone appear to jurors as a "murderous mafioso."
STONE cites a stat from the Italian Institute of America: "Only 0.00782 percent of Italian-Americans possessed any criminal associations. And
yet, according to a national Zogby poll, 74 percent of the American public believed that Italian Americans have ties to the mob."
