"Badfellas" takes the reader behind the scenes to reveal what it is like to be a trial lawyer in justice's great arena, the courts of America. Mr. Roth writes from the vantage point of an attorney who had been a prosecutor, defense attorney and civil litigant for more than 40 years. His "badfellas" include drug traffickers, organized criminals, terrorists, murders, a pimp, a pedophile priest, and a TV talk show villain. He chooses 7 of his most intriguing cases and trials to tell his compelling story:
¿ "The Smuggler and the Terrorist Prince": The prosecution of America's most wanted drug smuggler who became a hostage aboard an airliner hijacked by Pakistani terrorists.
¿ "Welcome to Palermo": The prosecution of the first Sicilian Connection heroin importation case, where the top echelon of an entire international smuggling operation was dismantled in coordinated trials in New York and Italy.
¿ "The Charity That Wasn't": The trial of a gang of incorrigible criminals and murderers which used a charity as a front for their drug organization.
¿ "Hush Money": A lawsuit involving a pedophile priest and the Catholic's Church's unsuccessful attempts to conceal the clergyman's crimes.
¿ "The Mouth That Roared": The defense of a popular television personality who was charged with assaulting a gay rights activist on his show.
¿ "Tony Montana and the Bird Dog": The defense of an Atlantic City pimp accused of laundering money for a 25-year-old crack kingpin who fancied himself the "Tony Montana" of Queens.
¿ "The Bad Side of Mansfield": A DEA Agent who faced the travails of a modern-day Job, all orchestrated by a rogue drug informant whose deceitful conduct turned the criminal justice system upside down. |
