I read a book about him a few years ago written by his nephew. He was an ultra-bad guy--seemed to live for hurting people for the sake of harm. He acted as his own lawyer in his last trial and infuriated the judge.
I read that book, TB. "Blood Relation," right?
I though it was well written, but was most impressed that the author didn't try to whitewash his uncle's life. The guy was a psycho and his nephew didn't try to hide it.
I do remember one part of the book that made me laugh out loud. Konisberg had just beaten a murder charge, but felt that he had to get his family's blessing to marry a
shiksa.
Talk about priorities! The guy killed without conscience, but when it was time to take a wife he needed his family's permission to marry a Gentile!
