NEW YORK (AP) - Now that the government has given up trying to put him in prison, John "Junior" Gotti says he may leave New York and try his hand at writing true crime stories.
The admitted former mobster held a celebration dinner Friday at a restaurant in the Long Island village of Westbury.
Federal prosecutors announced Wednesday that after a series of hung juries they wouldn't seek a fifth retrial against the most famous man in organized crime.
Gotti told reporters at the dinner that he is thinking about moving south and may write a true crime book.
He says it may be "better for everybody" if he leaves the state.
Gotti served nine years in prison for racketeering, but prosecutors failed to convict him of charges that he ordered several murders.
