James Marcello was a mob boss with a big role in a racketeering conspiracy that ended up resulting in the murders of 18 people. Remember that guy from Casino that Joe Pesci portrayed? His name was Tony "The Ant" Spilotro, and he is one of the guys that was murdered at Marcello's command.
So anyway, the reason this guy is in the news, is because he just ended up with a life sentence behind bars for his crimes. The guy is 66 years old, and was apparently expressionless when the judge condemned him. This is supposed to be a pretty big blow to the mob in Chicago.
This stuff is great, I suggest everybody check out the Wikipedia article for Marcello as well. "Little Jimmy" started off as a driver for the mob bosses, and eventually rose to power. It is all good stuff!
