A young Italian Mafioso helps get rid of a body in Queens. In Manhattan, a hedge fund portfolio manager misrepresents his company's assets to investors. At JFK International Airport, a college student returns from Jamaica with cocaine stuffed in the handle of her suitcase. These are just a few of the stories that come to life in this comprehensive look at the Southern District Court in Manhattan, and the Eastern District Court in Brooklyn--the two federal courts tasked with maintaining order in New York City. Johnny Dwyer takes us not just into the courtrooms but into the lives of those who enter through its doors: the judges and attorneys, prosecutors and defendants, winners and losers. He examines crimes we've read about in the papers or seen in movies and television--organized crime, terrorism, drug trafficking, corruption, and white-collar crime--and weaves in the nuances that rarely make it into headlines. Brimming with detail and drama, The Districts illuminates the meaning of intent, of reasonable doubt, of deception, and--perhaps most importantly of all--of justice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $b District Court (New York : Eastern District) 610 10 $a United States. $b District Court (New York : Southern District) 650 0 $a District courts $z New York. $z New York. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z New York. $z New York. 941 $a 4 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909060122.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013349.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200303023644.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191008011435.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=115A3648E99111E9BEAFC83F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
