A question about the law in the USA in the 80s: I remember watching a documentary about Felix "the cat" Mitchell, a gangster from Oakland who got a life sentence for murder and was later killed in prison. Some time after his death, his conviction was overturned on legal technicalities. Even if we don't consider how strange the fact is that they bothered to posthumously acquit a well-known gangster, what's the point of posthumously acquitting FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN LEGAL TECHNICALITIES? It's not like they found proof he was innocent and wanted to clear his name because he didn't commit the crime, but just some bureaucratic stupidity, why waste time of acquitting someone already dead just because of this?

Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:

1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."

2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."
