I know its some ago since the westies trials but i was wondering what the feeling was like at the time in New York about the murders were they greatly exagerated in the daily papers?Were the westies known to many people before the trials? I bet for you New Yorkers who were around at the time it must have been really interesting to read about this old gang or crew.Were the trials covered as much as Mafia trials? id really like to hear what it was like at the time

Thanks Chopper
