Alleged pimp to face trial in Downtowners hooker raid

the title of the article is just one part of the story the article was written by mensah m. dean a writter for the philadelphia inquirer. she wrote about a man named lawerence promoting prostitution in a south philly mummers clubhouse. the man name is lawerence crovetti and he was promoting prostitutes in a mummers clubhouse then the police came in and raided the place and arrested many people including crovetti and the prostitutes. two police officers testified thay they were undercover and propositioned for sex by 10 women in the mummers club house on 2nd & snyder ave. crovetties atorney said he was not guilty and would fight the charges. judge teresa carr deni made the ruling after the 2 undercover police testified. this is what crovettis attorney had to say, "he is not guilty of anything. he absolutly had nothing to do with prostitution. he did not profit at all from prostitution he did not promote it, he did not authorize it, he didnt direct it." well i think crovetti is guilty. he should be charged because if he didnt promote the prostitution or didnt want anything to do with it he would have kicked the prostitutes out of the club or wouldnt have been there while it was going on. he must have wanted must've wanted intercourse from the dirty prostitutes or profit from sales the prostitutes were making. but if he didnt want to get caught why did they do it in the mummers club? this reminds me of when my cousin locked me outside and and van of undercover cops pulled out and raided a van. this article makes me think about how money hungry people can be. it made me ask myself why people do stuff like this
