Washington Roger Stone says an attempt by prosecutors to show his jury a clip from the film"The Godfather: Part II" -- that could suggest he's a mob boss -- is out of bounds.
Showing the clip to the jury would imply that Stone is Michael Corleone -- the trilogy's protagonist and antihero, his legal team argued in a court filing Friday. "It makes Roger Stone the Michael Corleone character in this analogy -- an iconic violent godfather of the Mafia," Stone's lawyers wrote.The four-minute scene shows a mobster, Frank Pentangeli, lying to a Senate committee that was investigating organized crime as Corleone watched.
