I just shared the link in JoelTurner's Newark thread, but here's a good resource for newspapers about Newark https://newark.historyarchives.online/h ... qtdsgh_3kg

These NY District Attorney Files are good for arrest dates, bondsmen and addresses.

You might want to post your question in a different thread. This one focuses on resources for doing research.
Ah, got it

I saw a post one time describing what a mob defendant said in their sentencing hearing (federal trial). It wasn’t something you’d find on google, and I doubt they attended in person. I’ve always wondered where someone would find that type of detailed info. Is that was PACER is for?
A lot of court documents and transcripts get put up on PACER, where you can access them for a fee per page (there's also a charge for searching PACER). Not everything is available there though, especially for cases before the mid-2000s.

For documents and transcripts that aren't on PACER, you can request them from the courts themselves, but it's much more expensive to do so.
Thanks for the info.
