Why would they kill Joe before he went to court to take the rap ?


I could understand if it was in prison or afterwards but before ? How would that help the mob boss ?

The "confession" he signed was a suicide note with confession.

For him to commit suicide would erase any possibility of him recanting his confession.

If he committed suicide - his conspirators would not need to meet their financial commitment to him.
