The Rosario Liotta Story

by Donna M. Carbone and Rosario Liotta

In 2003, Rosario Liotta killed a mob associate in self-defense during an attempted shakedown. The killing took place shortly before the Stand Your Ground laws went into effect in Florida. As a result, at trial he was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 15 years in prison. In time, the authorities learned that the associate was the hit man who had murdered Miami Subs founder and SunCruz Casino Lines mogul Gus Boulis. Because of the shooting, Rosario was dragged into that case. Now a free man, he is telling his story – the same story he told throughout his trial – complete with all the details the prosecution would not allow the jury to hear.
