Why did Nick Calabrese hate Jackie?

I always catch this movie half way and I did not find it interesting enough to download it so can anyone tell me why Nick was such an a$$hole to him?

Also why was everyone out on bail while he was locked up? Was he already doing time for a conviction or something?

Yes, he was doing 30 years for cocaine distribution. He wasn't getting bail because of that.

So the guy kept his mouth shut and was doing his time like a man and they were STILL giving him $h&t? Makes you wish he rolled over on them.

Nick was an a******. I hated Nick Calabrese in the movie. I hated the way he treated Jackie and how he talked to him at lunch. I really hated him when he went over to Jackie and threatened to cut his heart out. Jackie D was a standup guy. Nick had no reason to say he didn't trust him or treat him like s***. Even in the end when Jackie did such a good job during the trial, Nick still wouldn't give him any credit. Jackie called him a prick in the end. I would've called him worse.

Yeah, it made absolutely no sense as to why he was such a prick to him. If anything, even before his performance at the trial which got a lot of them off, he should have been treated like a prince. Guy gets 30 years and takes it standing up? That right there is a rare man. Kudos to him.

I agree.

I think it's funny how Nick Calabrase was the only wiseguy in Find Me Guilty that was a villain. None of the others were. The witnesses, the prison guards, and Kierny were the real villains of the movie. Jackie, of course, was the hero of the movie.
