Your book vs. a court verdict? Which one? Tattoo Blasko, AB made man, convicted of murder of Vincent Papa. Herbie, like all white men in Atlanta at that time, was directly, or Indirectly, under the control of the AB. Just like the The Order (racist murderers of Alan Berg) and most all white cliques. We can go on and on with this mafia "stuff"; most of it legend via the A&E channel.
It's not my boo, but what exactly is an AB "Made Man?" I can't find anything on this Tattoo Blasko you mention. I take th word of the book, since the family of papa had it looked into, eyewitnesses and officers looked into it in the prison, and it was a group of Black inmates. If you believe Aryans run that prison you have been fooled. Outside of a few in the southwestern part of the country, the AB in prison is miniscule. Plus Herbie Sperling was Jewish, no way the Aryans would work for him.
