Former Philly Torpedo and Government witness talks God, bullets, and boy scouts with CBS 60 Minutes
John Veasey, a former hitman for the Philly Mafia who turned rat on his boss John Stanfa was put under the spotlight on 60 Minutes on March 17. Like many before him he claimed that finding God had put him on a new path. He even claims that he was leading a boy scout troop while still acting as a mob assassin. Whether you believe him or not its a fascinating interview and has seen the international press run with the story. Here is the UK's Daily Mail coverage which is quite comprehensive with a bunch of pics.
Veasey was the subject of an e-book The Hit Man a True Story of the Mob, Redemption and the Melrose Diner by Ralph Cipriano and Dave Schratwieser. Buy it here
