So was it more cold-hearted or less cold-hearted to allow Fredo to live while Momma was around?


It was a mixture of business and personal.

Killing him was a business decision. At the same time, Michael wasn't going to hurt his mother.

If you've ever read the book, Michael was the coldest hearted of the three brothers. Sonny was the hothead, Fredo was the weakling, Michael was cold. In that respect, he was the most logical choice to replace his father as Don, even though it was something that Vito had never wanted.

Yep, I've read the book, a few times actually, but it's been a while.

This was well portrayed in the movies as well.
