To the surprise and dismay of prosecutors, however, he was acquitted each time. Some say that the acquittals resulted from the furtive trial techniques of Bruce Cuttler, Gotti’s attorney; some contend that the government’s case, based on plea- bargained testimony, was fatally flawed; others speculate that there had been jury tampering. Whatever the reason, on each occasion the charges against Gotti failed to stick, earning him the nickname “Teflon don.” Finally, in 1992, the flamboyant Gotti was convicted and sent to prison for racketeering and for the 1985 murder of his own crime boss, Paul Castellano. This case not only captivated the American people but also helped perpetuate the public’s perception of organized crime in America.

Trends Affecting Both Legitimate Business and the Italian-American Mafia and the Resulting Changes In the Leadership Process By Kimberley M. Reiners Senior Project Jepson School of Leadership Studies University of Richmond RichmoMay,1998nd, Virginia Introduction The past two decades have brought with it a wave of movies and novels attempting to explain, or at least accurately portray, the Italian-American Mafia. One who has viewed the Godfather quickly becomes fascinated by this subculture and its ability to exist simultaneously with the rest of society. Moviegoers are mesmerized by codes of loyalty, silence, and kinship. However, much of what the public perceives as fact is littlemore than fabricated fiction. Partof what makes this world so intriguing is so little is known about it. For example, until 1986 there was no solid proof that the Mafia even existed.

  • Cryptography 11
    Privacy on the Line The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Fourth Amendment United States Constitution The evil incident to invasion of privacy of the telephone is far greater than that involved in tampering with the mails. Whenever a telephone line is tapped, the privacy of persons at both ends of the line is invaded, and all conversations between them upon any subject, and although proper, confidential and privileged, may be overheard. Moreover, the tapping of one man’s telephone line involves the tapping of the telephone of every other person whom he may call or who may call him. As a means of espi- onage, writs of assistance and general warrants are but puny instruments of tyranny and oppression when compared with wire-tapping. Justice Louis Brandeis dissenting opinion in Olmstead v. United States (277 US 438, 1928, pp. 475–476) Senator Herman Talmadge: Do you remember when we were in law school, we studied a famous principle of law that came from England and also is well known in this country, that no matter how humble a man’s cottage is, that even the King of England cannot enter without his consent. Witness John Ehrlichman: I am afraid that has been considerably eroded over the years, has it not? Senator Talmadge: Down in my country we still think of it as a pretty legitimate piece of law.
