    378 Obviously, the possibility cannot be dismissed, although it can hardly be said to have been established. At this point, it is, in your words, Mr. Chairman, perhaps only a little more than a "suspicion suspected," not a "fact found." The committee decided early in its investigation, as soon as it realized that a Mafia plot to assassinate the President warranted serious consideration, to assemble the most reliable information available on organized crime in the United States. The details of this phase of the committee's investigation will, of course, appear, hopefully in full, in its final report, a report that will consider the background of organized crime in America, the structure o£ the Mafia in the early 1960's, the effort by the Kennedy administration to suppress the mob, and the evidence that the assassination might have been undertaken in retaliation for those efforts. To scrutinize the possible role of organized crime in the assassi- nation, the committee early brought on one of the country's lead- ing experts on the subject. He is Ralph Salerno, whose career as an organized crime investigator with the New York City Police De- partment goes back to 1946. Mr. Salerno has since retired from the New York City Police Department and I would note that on the day of his retirement, the New York Times was moved to comment that he perhaps knew more about the Mafia than any nonmember in the United States. It would be appropriate at this time, Mr. Chairman, to call Ralph Salerno. Chairman STOKES . The committee calls Mr.

ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE, THE MAFIA, AND INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM* Benjamin M. Shieber** I. INTRODUCTION The United States Constitution affects the ability of federal, state and local governments to combat criminal activity. Since the relevant constitutional provisions are in the form of broadly stated legal commands,' the constitutionality of specific law enforcement practices can only be determined when the courts, ultimately the Supreme Court of the United States, interpret these commands in cases in which they are challenged. As has long been recognized, the judicial role in the interpretation process is a creative one, for when conflicting policies compete for ac- ceptance, a court's interpretation will further one policy at the expense of another.' The court's policy preference can only be rational and respon- sible when it is based on "considerations of what is expedient for the community concerned."'3 This requires the court to know the communi- ty, determine how implementation of each competing policy would af- fect it, and choose the policy of greatest utility for that community.'

  • Abrams 1 for the People?: the Role of Prosecutorial Misconduct in The
    Abrams 1 For the People?: The Role of Prosecutorial Misconduct in the Rise of Progressive Prosecution in Brooklyn, 1964-2019 Kayla Abrams Undergraduate Senior Thesis Department of History Columbia University March 2021 Seminar Advisor: Professor Samuel Roberts Second Reader: Professor Kellen Funk Abrams 2 Abstract In this paper, I investigate how “progressive prosecution” arose in Brooklyn in the early 2010s. I argue that “progressive prosecution” emerged in reaction to the prosecutorial misconduct that characterized the Office for most of its history. To prove this, I show that the history of the Brooklyn DA’s Office is one in which the Office was constantly combating the reality and perception of malpractice. While the Office was able to limit corruption when it professionalized in the late 1960s, it was unable to do the same with prosecutorial misconduct due to a lack of political pressure or the respective DA’s “insider” status—and often both. Therefore, Ken Thompson was able to capitalize on this inability to deal with prosecutorial misconduct throughout those fifty years, along with a growing national desire for a less punitive criminal justice system, to bring progressive prosecution to Brooklyn. As Brooklyn is the fifth largest jurisdiction in the country, with an estimated population of over 2.5 million people, any change in Brooklyn always has national implications. However, while my analysis has this specific regional focus, the story I tell is not just a Brooklyn story. Although every Office does have their own unique history, the factors I discuss – continual prosecutorial misconduct, changing public opinion on the punitiveness of the justice system, and “progressive” candidates – were present in other cities who in the ensuing decade have similarly elected “progressive prosecutors”, such as Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, St.

  • Anthony Corallo, Mob Boss, Dies in Federal Prison at 87 - the New York Times
    8/27/2019 Anthony Corallo, Mob Boss, Dies in Federal Prison at 87 - The New York Times Anthony Corallo, Mob Boss, Dies in Federal Prison at 87 By Alan Feuer Sept. 1, 2000 See the article in its original context from September 1, 2000, Section A, Page 25 Buy Reprints VIEW ON TIMESMACHINE TimesMachine is an exclusive benefit for home delivery and digital subscribers. Anthony Corallo, the salty and stoical former boss of the Lucchese crime family who went to jail for life after the authorities overheard him chatting to his driver about the mob's control of New York City's construction industry, died Aug. 23 in a federal prison hospital in Springfield, Mo. He was 87. Mr. Corallo, who was serving a 100-year sentence, was said to be the oldest living gangster to have risen from one of the city's five organized crime families. He was a sitting member of the Mafia politburo, known as the commission, when he was arrested in 1985. A year later, he was found guilty on federal racketeering charges at what came to be known as the commission trial -- a 10-week smorgasbord of gangland lore that resulted in the conviction of the city's top crime leaders. It also paved the way for a new era of crime leader, a more rough-and-tumble crew of underlings, like John Gotti, who dressed in a flashy way and seemed to bask in the limelight. Mr. Corallo, known to mobsters and federal agents alike as Tony Ducks -- because of his knack for ducking subpoenas and convictions -- was widely regarded as an old-time don, a crusty but gentle son of La Cosa Nostra, who believed in honor, staked his reputation on his word, adored his family and considered loose lips a treachery worse than murder.
