Hung (and Stabbed) Jury

(CNN) -- The Teflon apparently doesn't fall far from the tree.

After four trials in five years ended with hung juries, federal prosecutors appear to have given up on convicting John A. "Junior" Gotti of mob-related charges.

The U.S. Attorney's office in New York filed notice on January 8 of nolle prosequi, or non-prosecution, and it was promptly signed by a judge.

"The case is over, it's dismissed and it cannot be brought back," said attorney Ron Kuby, who testified at Gotti's trial and represented his father, "Teflon Don" John Gotti Sr..

What's next for Gotti Jr.? Jersey Shore season 2?

Gotti Jr. was later seen at the local Olive Garden "fistpumping like a champion."
