    "There's a bounty on him" is one of the most savage things I've ever heard. And on national TV, no less.
  • My dad told me: don't ever underestimate old people. This right here is a good reason why.
  • @00corin00
    That smirk at the end was priceless!
  • @swisstrader
    Kills 20 ppl and gets to enjoy dinner and wine with his family. Sell a few bags of weed years ago and could be still rotting in jail
  • @adamelam6385
    This guy has some creative ways to disassociate himself from facts
  • @njdrummer7120
    This guy is the real deal bad guy. He’s not bragging or sensationalizing. He’s just being honest about what he did. But he’s not like a serial killer. He is who he is but you can see how he can assimilate into society and not be outed.
  • @kevinyoung947
    “Well there’s a bounty on him” he said that in a 60 minute interview lmao badass
  • @steveconn
    Black Mass was an underrated film version of this whole era.
  • @NacheMan
    Closed my eyes, and I swore it was Leslie Neilson with a slight speech impediment
  • More drama and chills listening to that true story from the man himself than any movie. He didn't need to embellish anything .: and he was not bullshiting...
  • @crispy833
    "he helped them solve 40 murders of which 20 he is confessed to" lol
  • @MySpace662
    A hit man with principles and values, that's hard to digest.
  • @EGstill85
    Defense attorneys often say the most difficult client to defend is the one who’s truly innocent. An innocent person with no links to sketchy people isn’t able to provide a premeditated, bogus alibi for whereabouts during the time of the crime, he’s not able to throw a criminal rival to the prosecution in order to get the heat off him, he can’t give up co-conspirators for a reduced sentence. All the guy can say is he doesn’t know what happened, and he has no clue who would commit the crime. That’s the American Justice System hard at work in blind pursuit of the truth
  • @MrMisterDerp
    I’ve actually met him, did not strike me as a murderer, but he just hid it very well. Surprisingly intelligent man, but has an aura about him that is unnerving.
  • That ending got me good with the lolz. Well done, interesting journalism there.
  • @joshallen5399
    10 Hail Marrys, 10 Our Fathers, 10 Pushups, 10 Situps, and don't do it again.
  • @jcspider7259
    This interview took place on January 15, 2008. Martorano is still alive, currently aged 78 years (as of Sept. 2019). In return for confessing his murders, Martorano received a reduced prison sentence of 12 years. He was released from prison in 2007 and given $20,000 to start a new life. Go figure...
