Outlaws & Gunslingers

Joel “Joe Waverly” Cacace went from running a Brooklyn flower shop to becoming one of the Colombo family’s most feared leaders. He survived shootings, fought through a bloody Mafia war, admitted his involvement in four murders, and was accused and later acquitted of ordering the murder of an NYPD officer. This is the violent life and criminal career of Joel Cacace.
