I'm serving a subpoena. Grand jury to the death of Jack Luchardi. The date is 10-17-94. The time is 3-20 p.m. We're at the intersection of Orange and Willow. Mr. Luchardi, did you understand that this grand jury subpoena commands your appearance? Yes, I did. Okay. Do you understand? Failure to attend will be damned guilty of contempt of court and you can be arrested. Understand?

I had no idea you guys were police officers. Okay, we thought you were stopping. Okay, this is your copy. Okay? Here's the room you're supposed to report to. Okay?
Blood Vines
Tainted Wine: 6
First we have to come to understanding that, you know, none of us know exactly what happened.
Blood Vines
Tainted Wine: 6
Yeah, I'm not sure where all that came from. I really, I'm not sure. I can't really say.

At page 116, line 15, Michael testifies that he received a $200,000 bonus from Corvette Company in 1990. That statement could not be farther from the truth. In the summer of 1989, my father told me that Michael had stolen $200,000 from him by cashing a certificate of deposit without my father's knowledge.

They'd come over here and Robert would go and lay down because he wasn't sleeping at home, I understood. My daughter looked not like a very happy woman.

And then he, just the way he was talking, I got concerned. We drove over there, and he wouldn't answer the door, and everything was locked up.
Blood Vines
Twisted Vines: 5
He's got gas going in that house, and he's got all the windows shut. So we called 911, and the police came and the fire department.
Blood Vines
Twisted Vines: 5
Yeah, he could have blown up the house and everything around. The animals were put out on the porch. If the house went, the animals would have gone, but he thought he was protecting the animals.

One day she got it in the mail that for the final paper she was divorced. They had never, according to her, filed for divorce. They had filed for a legal separation.
Blood Vines

I'm just not trained in any kind of rescue thing. That didn't even cross my mind.
Blood Vines
Twisted Vines: 5
I was in a state of shock. When you have an investigation like that against you.

As Annette's mom recalls, Have you ever seen a house after the police get through searching? It's horrible.

Ask Steve Lapham, federal prosecutor, what kind of a guy Mike is. Look at the charges and see why he was thrown out of the family. He embezzled $200,000 from the company. Go see his trial on April or May 7th. Ask him these questions and get his reaction.

And at that point, we lost our position of our farming operation. And so we were working with the federal government

Murder Was the Case: 4
He was really hurting because of what his one son did. He was cutting Michael out of the business.
Blood Vines
The House of Licciardi: 3
Absolutely. Absolutely. He was miffed. You know, his firstborn son deceiving him. I think he was more mad that he was deceiving him than he was doing that with the graves. You know, this is a guy he wanted to groom for the business and everything, and then he did that to him at the scene.
Blood Vines
The House of Licciardi: 3
What we wanted to do was try to protect our interests and separate ourselves from Michael.
Blood Vines
The House of Licciardi: 3
It was just a regular day. I started to take care of my mother.
Blood Vines
The House of Licciardi: 3
He goes, there's cops everywhere and... You know, the corners outside.
Blood Vines
The House of Licciardi: 3
Oh yeah, in the 80s, I took a lot of cocaine, but I was pretty much harming only myself.

Hangover: 7
They cut a guard's face all the way from his ear all the way down to his chin.

Hangover: 7
I hooked up with the Catholic Church when I got there and studied monasticism.
Blood Vines
Hangover: 7
Oh, I'm still open to that. I'm still open to all of that. I'm not going to turn my sisters or my brothers gone, but I wouldn't turn them away. First, we have to come to understanding that none of us know exactly what happened. I mean, they can point their finger at me, but were they there? Did they see me do anything wrong to anybody? No, they didn't because I didn't.
Blood Vines
Hangover: 7
He was found guilty. He's exactly where he should be right now. You know, and we like it that way.
Blood Vines
Hangover: 7
I was never the same after that. Something in me went with my dad because we just had that type of relationship. And I just admired and respected him so much and I just expected him to be around, you know, for a longer time. I feel very cheated by my brother. by what he did. And I feel very angry sometimes at my other brother, Michael, for what he did to my dad, you know, before he passed away.
Blood Vines
Hangover: 7
But, you know, it's sad that it had to end the way that it did. And so I'm just finding peace within myself.
Blood Vines
Hangover: 7
And even though he could use a public defender... I didn't trust that the system would give me an attorney that would get everything that I needed on record. Because I thought for sure that, you know, since there was no physical direct evidence against me, the whole entire case is circumstantial.
Blood Vines
Hangover: 7
They just, he got away with saying anything he wanted. He's taking money to Panama, he's doing this and that, and it just got to the point where it was just ridiculous.
Blood Vines
Hangover: 7
I mean, because we know he did it. We're not going to we're not here to, you know, like quibble about it. I mean, we know he did it.
