        The guy who killed Phil King was a 67 year old hit man for the mob. I
think he was Polish, not Italian. It was not a mob hit. Phil was leaning on
this guy to pay up some gambling debt at a dinner on Long Island and he said,
"OK, The money's out in my car. Come on outside and I'll pay you back in
full". and he did...:-(
