==Boccia Trial== In 1944, Vito was deported to the US to face trial for the murder of Boccia. He pleaded not guilty, and on the 15th 0f January 1946, prosecution witness Peter LaTempa was found dead by witness protection officials, having been poisoned by an unknown party, presumably mob hitmen, tampering with his medicine. On the 10th of June, another witness, Jerry Esposito, was shot and killed by Vito's men. With LaTempa and Esposito dead, Rupolo had no-one to back him up and the case collapsed. Vito was formally acquitted on the day Esposito died, and Rupolo was eventually found drowned in Jamaica Bay with concrete blocks tied to his hands and feet.
