Murder of William "Billy Batts" Devino
In the book Wiseguy, Henry Hill said they threw a "welcome home" party at Robert's Lounge, which was owned by Jimmy Burke, for William "Billy Batts" Devino, a made man in Carmine Fatico's crew (the same crew John Gotti was a part of) in the Gambino crime family.
Devino had just gotten out of prison after serving a six-year term for drug possession. Hill states in Wiseguy that Devino saw DeSimone and asked him if he still shone shoes and DeSimone took this as an insult. Hill also said that Devino provoked DeSimone because he wanted to impress some mobsters from another crime family. A couple of minutes later when that issue was going to be forgotten, DeSimone leaned over to Henry Hill and Jimmy Burke and said "I'm gonna ? that ? ." Hill saw that he was serious about it. A couple of weeks later, on June 11, 1970, Devino went over to "The Suite" owned by Hill in Jamaica, Queens to go drinking with DeSimone's crew, including Hill, DeSimone, and Jimmy. Later that night DeSimone took his girlfriend home and Burke started making Devino feel comfortable. Twenty minutes later, DeSimone arrived with a .38 revolver and a plastic mattress cover. DeSimone walked over to him at the corner of the bar and attacked Devino. Before Devino was attacked, Jimmy Burke tightened his arms around Devino and he was pistol-whipped with the .38 revolver. He was so inebriated that he -
In the book Wiseguy, Hill said that before DeSimone started to beat Devino, DeSimone yelled, "Shine these ? shoes!" DeSimone killed Devino not only because he had insulted him, but also because Burke had taken over Devino's loanshark business while Devino was in prison. According to Hill, Devino had been complaining to Joe Gallo about getting back this racket. Not wanting to return the business to Devino, Burke knew sooner or later Devino would have to be killed. After the beating, the three men put Devino in the trunk of Hill's 1970 Buick Electra and later while the three men were driving on The Van Wyck Expressway, they discovered that Devino was not dead. Later, they visited DeSimone's mother's house to get a knife, lime and a shovel (this much appeared in Goodfellas, which also shows that they had dinner with Tommy's mother). Later in the drive, closer to their destination, Hill said it had been an hour of DeSimone driving and he kept getting mad about the noises in the trunk and finally slammed the brakes and leaned over for the shovel and that Burke and DeSimone "didn't actually shoot him, they just stabbed him, thirty or forty ? times, ? horrible." In the film version of Devino's death, Tommy stabs Devino eight times and Jimmy shoots Devino four times

Hill does not mention a knife, but claims Burke and DeSimone finished Devino off by beating him with a tire iron and the shovel, respectively and the men later buried him under a dog kennel. At the time of the murder in 1970, Devino was 29 years old and was a respected and a feared made man in John Gotti's crew and in the Gambino crime family. The price DeSimone would pay for killing a made man was his own life.

The show comes on Biography channel once a week ? . Profiles different mobsters. The one this thread is talking about was the special about Jimmy The Gent. -
It's weird watching Goodfellas and then seeing the real ages of these dudes. Who would have thought most of those maniacs were in their early to late 20's.
