[edit] Gangland
Gangland figures cannot function without their lawyers: the men and women who speak for them in court, obtain bail, throw doubt on the evidence, and, when all else fails, try to reduce their sentence.
Gangland figures cannot function without their lawyers: the men and women who speak for them in court, obtain bail, throw doubt on the evidence, and, when all else fails, try to reduce their sentence. They'd function only half as well if some of them didn't have a dishonest lawyer who'd act as a go-between with the police, providing false alibis, bribing and intimidating withnesses, bribing judges and jurors, and, from time to time, financing and setting up robberies and burglaries. On occasion, the lawyers, who may by now be judges, will kill on their own or their clients behalf - or will themselves be killed. Gangland: The Lawyers is a worldwide catalogue of these sorry individuals and their tawdry stories - from the Illinois judge whom a prosecutor once described as 'the man who rewrote the meaning of corruption', to rob lawyer Dixie Davies who watched 'Dutch' Schultz kill a henchman in cold blood and Manny Fryde, adviser to the Kray twins and the cream of London's underworld
