Reputed Mob Bosses, Frank Calabrese Sr, and James Marcello Seek Delay in Sentencing

Two reputed mob bosses convicted of taking part in a murder conspiracy have asked a federal judge to postpone their sentencing.

James Marcello and convicted hit man Frank Calabrese Sr. filed their requests Wednesday with Judge James B. Zagel. Calabrese is due for sentencing Dec. 11 and Marcello Dec. 17. They were convicted at the landmark Operation Family Secrets trial.

Marcello says he needs time to prepare and Calabrese says he needs more time to talk with his lawyer because he has been thrown into "a segregation unit commonly known as 'the hole'" in the Metropolitan Correctional Center.

Federal spokesman Randall Samborn had no comment.
