After being released from prison in December, the infamous mobster John Jr. Gotti says he's done with crime, and he’ll try his hand at writing. The NY Daily News reported that at a celebratory dinner with lawyers in Long Island he mourned the hardships of his mafia upbringing and announced his plans for a brighter future. "Trials. Properties are gone. Lost houses. Children in counseling," Gotti said. "I want to try my hand at writing. I want to write about facts—possibly true crime." He also revealed that he’s planning to quit the big apple and head south to Maryland, Virginia or the Carolinas. "I think it's better for everybody if I just do move on. Out of sight. Out of mind."
