He's In A Low-Security Prison Camp; He's Done 22 Years For Non-Violent Crimes, But The Feds Say He Owes Them Four More Years

Gang Land Exclusive!Eddie BoyleEdmund (Eddie) Boyle is an enigma. For two years, the ex-Gambino associate has been in a federal prison camp that is home to white collar inmates and politicians serving 90 days to a year and a day. He's serving 20 years for a 2010 Manhattan Federal Court conviction for five late night bank burglaries for which he was also found guilty in Brooklyn Federal Court in 2005, and for which he was sentenced to nine and half years behind bars.

Boyle, who turns 60 later this year and has already served more than 22 years for five of those 1990s bank heists, has filed a most compelling motion for compassion supported by eight employees at his last two prisons. The motion is also unique to Gang Land because Boyle is seeking an early release from the prison term that he has completed for his Brooklyn Federal Court conviction.

The feds oppose it, of course. But if there ever was a mob associate with a legit claim of compassion, it's got to be Boyle. At this point, he's been locked up three times for the same crimes: three years in state prison, and more than 19 years in federal facilities. A main focus of his filing with Judge Pamela Chen is an astounding "disparity and harshness" of the sentence he got for non-violent burglaries compared to those that his codefendants — as well as defendants across the country — received for theirs.

Ronnie G Says He's 'A Good Candidate For Release Into The Community.'

Ronald GiallanzoThree years after his first effort to overturn what he considered an over-the-top prison term fell on deaf ears, Bonanno wiseguy Ronald (Ronnie G) Giallanzo has filed a double-barreled legal challenge to the 14-years he received after he copped a plea deal to racketeering charges that had called for a sentence of about half that stretch, a little over seven years or just 87 months.

Judge On His Side: Bonanno Wiseguy Wins Early Release

Anthoony DonatoBonanno soldier Anthony (Little Anthony) Donato had an unlikely ally last month when the feds sought to block his request for a compassionate release from prison so he could better care for his down-syndrome son: The judge who sentenced him 18 years ago.
