#1 "Maybe it was his age, maybe happiness over finally being in a home that didn't contain his sociopathic wife," Maria Scorsone wrote.

Important word. Don't leave it out.

Franzese, who was dubbed The Nodfather for snoozing at his three-week trial, told the Daily News last year he wasn't afraid of dying in prison. "Who cares?" he said. "I gotta die someplace."

That's a good attitude, Sonny...

#2 "Who cares?" he said. "I gotta die someplace."

#3 Ummmmmmmm...no.

In 1942, in the midst of World War II, he was discharged from the United States Army because he displayed '"homicidal tendencies".

Fun guy, that Sonny...
