Genovese capo was defending his honor - 'no balls' - lawyer

Genovese capo Anthony 'Rom' Romanello, 86, is accused of popping a Manhattan steakhouse owner as part of an extortion plot. Not so says his lawyer. The fracas wasn't over a gambling debt, it was because the victim called Romanello a “washed-up Italian” with “no balls.” Surveillance footage captured Romanello's attempt to collect a $86k gambling debt from Shuqeri 'Bruno' Selimaj. Romanello's lawyer said prosecutors tried to portray Romanello delivering a blow like Rocky Marciano. "People who have viewed the video will say my client punches "like a girl."
