Fingered by Whitey in the Bobby Lamonica hit (believed to have been done by Tommy Barrett and/or Rocco Balliro), Fred Weichel spent 36 years in prison for murder he didn't commit. Disgraceful.

Could make it a netflix short series. This guys been fighting for his freedom in the press and tv local news for atleast the last 15 yrs. Seems shady all around. Whitey wouldnt help him.

Surprised he's finally getting out, like PMac says they've been fighting for his release for years. They go in depth into his story in the book Street Soldier by Boston guy Eddie MacKenzie.
