| Tommy Shots is accused of killing 5 people, including Colombo underboss William "Wild Bill" Cutolo, whose body was found last year not far from Shots' Long Island home |
He didn't have a toenail clipper, his lawyers told a judge. His mattress was too hard. He only had a spoon to eat with and feared a broken dental bridge would cause him to choke. And don't even get him started on the food.

| Thomas Gioeli was caught making massive junk food purchases at the jail commissary |
Surprisingly, Judge Ramon Reyes told the feds to look into the situation and report back, otherwise he might consider releasing Gioeli.
So the feds did just that, though not in a way Tommy Shots would approve. They began to monitor what Gioeli bought at the commissary, which doesn't quite speak to a man worried about his diet.
On November 13, for example, Shots bought Cajun hot snacks, doughnut sticks, six Hersey's bars, Honey Nut Scooters, Pringles, sour cream and onion chips, Ritz crackers, a Snickers bar, three pouches of Spam, six packets of tuna in sauce, five turkey and Swiss sticks, and six packages of Velveeta macaroni and cheese.
Two weeks later, he made a similar bulk purchase, though he upped the count of Hershey's bars to 10.
The findings would seem to put an ending to Gioeli's squawking. But his lawyer, Adam Perlmutter, who knows he's getting paid by the hour, refuses to halt his endless petitions over Shots' treatment.
He now says his client was buying gifts for less fortunate inmates during the holidays. Unfortunately, Mafiosi are known more for stiffing waitresses on tips than they are their generosity. We doubt the judge is going to go for this.
