We delve into the infamous 1986 shooting involving Fritzy, his associates, and a police officer, a case that resulted in two hung juries with lingering questions. This episode also delves into the violence of the mafia during that era, and the key differences between organized and disorganized crime. Did Fritzy and his crew embody the traditional “mafia” image, or were they something else entirely? Tune in to find out!
