Veteran organized crime reporter George Anastasia is covering the federal organized crime trial in Philadelphia for bigtrial.net.
Damion Canalichio onced boasted on a secretly recorded covnersation that he was in the "collection" business for the mob.
Jurors in the racketeering trial of Canalichio, mob boss Joe Ligambi and five others spent part of their deliberations today listening in on how Canalichio allegedly conducted that business.
"I'm gonna go crack his fuckin' head," Canalichio said on one tape recorded conversation from 2002 in which he discussed a deadbeat with a cooperating government witness who was wearing a body-wire.
On another tape, Canalichio's part of a phone conversation with another debtor it picked by the same cooperating witness.
"I gave you fuckin' money and you've been fuckin' me ever since," Canalichio yells into the phone. 'You're a lyin' fuckin' junkie."
The tapes were played as jurors in the case completed their 11th day of deliberations. The conversations, recorded by Michael Orlando, were played early in the 10-week trial and replayed when the jury asked to hear them again this afternoon.
