It's All In The Family
David Chase testified in a federal courtroom in Trenton that he wanted to cry when he learned he was being sued by a former New Jersey municipal judge who claims he should be paid for helping to create the hit HBO series. The suit had been dismissed twice by presiding Judge Joel A. Pisano but those dismissals were overturned. Chase testified:"You're a grown man you're not supposed to cry. . .But I felt like crying. . .The Sopranos' was me, my mother, my uncles. . .It was my life. . .. It made me sick, absolutely sick."
The case should wrap up on Wednesday with closing arguments and a jury verdict. During his testimony, Chase talked about the genesis of his hit show: He said he wanted to create a "satire of American corporate life" and wanted to explore the business practices of the criminal enterprise system:"I never understood the money," he testified, "Who keeps the records?"
