Defense lawyer Gerald McMahon admitted in a Federal court this week that mob associate Stefan Cicale used a chain saw for chopping up the corpse of Staten Island jeweler Louis Antonelli and making him merely a "desecrater of the deceased."

Antonelli, 43, was gunned down on April 29, 2008, in West Brighton, S.I., as he was approaching his vehicle shortly after retrieving jewelry from a nearby storage facility.

Antonelli was targeted because he disrespected a high-ranking mobster in the Genovese crime family, a federal prosecutor said Wednesday.

The Daily News reported that his offense was failing to kick up cash tributes to capo Anthony Antico for the privilege of peddling gems in Antico's social club.

Antico is charged with illegal gambling, giving his approval to a crew of thugs to rob Antonelli in 2008 and the extortions of a bagel shop and a lottery winner.
