Gotti Family Seeks Dismissal of Assault Charges from High School Basketball Incident

Lawyer argues that the Gotti name unfairly influenced identification and charges in the alleged brawl.

Kimberly and Gianna Gotti face third-degree assault charges after a fight at a Long Island high school game.
The defense claims their notorious surname led to biased treatment and identification by the victim and officials.
The alleged victim, Crystal Etienne, accuses the Gotti women of physical assault and using slurs during the altercation.
Prosecutors have offered plea deals, which the Gotti family has repeatedly rejected, maintaining their innocence.
A Nassau County judge questioned the sufficiency of evidence and identification in the case, with motions to dismiss pending.
