Anthony Comello appears in Richmond County Supreme Court on Thursday, May 9, 2019, in Staten Island, N.Y. NEW YORK -- A man charged with killing a reputed New York mob boss was deluded by internet conspiracy theories and thought he was helping U.S. President Donald Trump defend Democracy, his attorney said in court papers filed Friday.
In a legal filing, attorney Robert Gottleib said Comello was gripped by an irrational belief that Cali was part of a "deep state" that secretly controls the U.S., and went to the gangster's home on Staten Island with handcuffs with the intention of arresting him. At an early court appearance following his arrest, Comello displayed writing on his hand that included the letter "Q," which is associated with QAnon, a conspiracy theory that suggests a "deep state" plot against Trump.
