This documentary, part of the
American Justice series from A&E and narrated by
American Justice host and producer Bill Kurtis, is the third in a four-part series on the Mob and its members. This episode shows the Mob through the eyes of the lawyers who are paid to protect the legal interests of organized crime. Some of the lawyers that
American Justice covers worked inside the Mob itself, as key players in avoiding prosecution of the Mob. Other attorneys in this episode worked outside the Mob organization and defended the Mob bosses when the law finally caught up with them. Mob lawyers Frank Ragano, Carmine Persico, and Bruce Cutler all speak candidly about their legal experiences within the Mob and how working for Mob clients differed from working with the average public. ~ Cecilia Cygnar, All Movie Guide
