  • Political Interference and the Challenges Facing the US
    THE YALE LAW JOURNAL FORUM JANUARY 15, 2021 Treat Every Defendant Equally and Fairly: Political Interference and the Challenges Facing the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices as the Justice Department Turns 150 Years Old Joyce White Vance abstract. The US Attorneys’ Offices are the flagships of the federal government’s law-en- forcement work. But as the Department of Justice (DOJ) approaches its 150th anniversary, there are deep concerns for their future. The four years of the Trump Administration have shaken public confidence in DOJ, and during his tenure, Attorney General William Barr all too ofen took on the role of the President’s lawyer rather than upholding the integrity and credibility of line prosecutors to work free from political interference. This Essay, written in the weeks leading up to the 2020 presidential election,1 argues that, in a new administration, there must be a hardcore realignment of cultural values inside of the Justice Department that supports its independence and permits line prosecutors to effectively resist and reject political interference in criminal matters. The past four years have revealed frailty in the Department that requires more than the new laws and new poli- cies that will be designed to shore up some of the weaknesses that have been revealed. Ultimately, even with those new laws and policies, there must be a culture restoration that guarantees they will be implemented effectively so that the independence of prosecutions from political influence, which is critical to our criminal-justice system, is firmly in place. introduction The moment when Aaron Zelinsky, an Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) in the District of Maryland, refused to silently stand by while Attorney 1.

    1 DIRECTOR J. EDGAR HOOVER OF THE FB(P)I BLACKMAILER-IN-CHIEF 1905 The Department of Justice created a Bureau of Criminal Identification as a centralized reference collection for the fingerprints of American citizens.2 FBI The United States Military Academy had always been merely an engineering school. Late in this year, wrestling and boxing were added to its curriculum to satisfy President Theodore Roosevelt. The Point’s wrestling coach from 1906 until 1942 would be one-eyed Tom Jenkins, a former national champion from Cleveland whose motto was “There ain’t no hold that can’t be broke.” 1907 The Hoover vacuum cleaner and Maytag washer were introduced. 1. The Federal Bureau of Persecution through “Investigation.” 2. No standard would ever be developed as to precisely how many points of similarity a crime scene fingerprint needs to possess, in order to constitute “a positive match” with a fingerprint from this file. Some investigators would require 18 points of similarity, some as few as 8 — it appears that this has come to depend entirely upon how identified an individual investigator is, with the incarceration of the guilty as opposed to the freedom of the innocent, and with how apt that expert is at approximating an attitude of sincerity while on the witness stand. If, some fine day, someone accuses you of having been in a place where you have never been, and of having done something that you know you would never do, please do not take this personally — it’s just our system.

  • Roger Wheeler Detective Mike Huff Tells the Riveting Story of Why the Boston Mafia Murdered This Tulsa Businessman
    Roger Wheeler Detective Mike Huff tells the riveting story of why the Boston Mafia murdered this Tulsa businessman. Chapter 1 — 1:20 Introduction Announcer: Businessman Roger Wheeler, the former Chairman of Telex Corporation and former owner of World Jai Alai, was murdered May 27, 1981, at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, while sitting in his car. At age 55, he was leaving the golf course after his weekly game of golf and was murdered for uncovering an embezzlement scheme that was going on at his business, World Jai Alai. Linked to the murder were H. Paul Rico, John Callahan, Whitey Bulger, Steve Flemmi, and Johnny Martarano. The first Tulsa police detective to arrive at the scene of the crime was Homicide Detective Mike Huff. Immediate suspicions led to speculation that the murder was a mob hit, but when at Huff’s request, the Tulsa FBI asked the Boston FBI office for help, they received a terse reply that Boston had ruled out a Boston mafia connection. Thus began years of a relentless pursuit by Mike Huff, with resources provided by the Tulsa Police Department and other organizations in Boston and federal agencies to identify those connected to the murder of Roger Wheeler. Listen to Mike Huff talk about the murder from the day it happened to the conviction of Whitey Bulger on the Oklahoma oral history website, VoicesofOklahoma.com. Chapter 2 — 8:50 Homicide John Erling: My name is John Erling and today’s date is June 13, 2013. So, Mike, state your full name, your date of birth and your present age, please.
