Goodman's usefulness as legal counsel is a necessary evil in a jury trial system. Never questioned his role in the legal system (for the umpteenth time). I question his ethics. He knew who was retaining him, and he's still bathing in the blood money.

As Carlito Brigante would say, "You aint a lawyer no more Davey. You a gangsta now". Goodman's just a lucky scoundrel. Nothing more.


"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
