was wrong years ago, for what he advised Michael to do. The judge made an example out of Michael by giving him the maximum sentence. That's not on Dante because he wasn't the judge. Michael took a life in a violent way. Yes. He was saving his little sister. He didn't punch her. He didn't knock her out. The way he swung that axe handle--he meant to kill Claudia. There are consequences for that. Even Michael admitted her was wrong to throw that in Dante's face. They have long since moved past that.
Michael is lying right now. He is scheming. Dante spoke to his brother about the strong possibility that he is framing his ex-wife for attempted murder. That's not nothing. This all just reinforcing why the brother of a suspect shouldn't be anywhere near this investigation. Michael thinks his $hit don't stink. He's being vengeful now because he wants to punish Willow. How is that in the best interest of their children? All you have to do is recall the look on BLQ's face when he was gloating about what he pulled off. She looked at him like she didn't recognize the man in front of her.
I do not think Dante was out of pocket for the conversation. He expressed his feelings to his brother. It went in one ear and out the other.
