Chicago wrote:The Judges in the pockets of Organized Crime was always way exaggerated. Sure, there were a select few in the past but a small percentage of all Judges.
In 2015, the Judges in the pockets of the remainder of the Outfit, would be zero or close to zero in the same way that street bookmaking is next to zero as described by Mike Magnafichi. It would be easier to corrupt a Juror since there are 12 of them and all you need is one for a hung Jury.
Mickey Davis, the guy I was talking about, should have either made a deal with the Prosecution and pled guilty OR had a Bench trial. Defendants like Mickey Davis have a better chance with a Judge than a Jury who will NEVER get past the picture of him fishing with Pete DiFronzo and being his life long acquaintance. That's the point. How many Judges 40 years ago were in the pocket of the Outfit is irrelevant to Mickey Davis in 2015.

I have no clue what you're talking about here, but I'm going to assume you're being sarcastic? If that's the case, lets not derail a good flowing thread by doing so.

OUTFIT BURGLAR ‘BIG PAULIE K’ COPS PLEA IN CHICAGO MAFIA HOME INVASION, RICO CASE, RECEIVES 18 YEARS
High-ranking Chicago mob associate and veteran Windy City professional thief Paul (Big Paulie) Koroluk pled guilty to federal racketeering charges last week and was sentenced to 18 years in prison. The 57-year old Koroluk was indicted in the summer of 2014 for running an Outfit-backed home invasion and armed-robbery crew in tandem with Chicago mafia lieutenant Robert (Bobby Pinocchio) Panozzo. The pair were convicted and did prison time for a burglary ring in the 2000s.
Koroluk and Panozzo are alleged to be part of the Outfit’s Grand Avenue regime headed by reputed Westside capo Albert (Albie the Falcon) Vena, the alleged successor to 87-year old imprisoned former Outfit consigliere Joseph (Joey the Clown) Lombardo, Koroluk and Panozzo’s mentor in the underworld. Lombardo’s been behind bars for a decade, locked up for the murder of a friend and business partner-turned-FBI informant in 1974.
