John Amos in Good Times was America's TV dad before Bill Cosby's in The Cosby Show, playing a strong father figure who was fearless in protecting his family. I also played basketball in Van Nuys' Balboa Park in the early 80's and would regularly see him rollerblading past us in the courts. R.I.P. Mr. Amos.

Wha.. ? John Amos defended Gotti -- John Gotti, "The Dapper Don" -- for real? When, where and why ?
I have never heard of Amos being involved in anything illegal with Gotti. I do know he was an invited guest during one day of his trial, along with several other celebrities. However, the media sure did make a big deal of Amos being at his trial. Mickey Rourke and singer Jay Black of Jay and the Americans also were two celebrities invited to the trial.

Nothing I can find in several searches alleges that Amos "defended" Gotti, only that he showed up at the trial for one morning session, viewing the testimony. I guess one could perhaps say that Amos' appearance itself, coupled with him sitting in the area reserved for Gotti's family & friends, could be seen as a form of tacit "defense", but that would be pushing things a bit in my opinion, , , , it's not like he ever took the Stand and offered testimony defending or refuting anything Gotti was accused of
