On May 15th, jury selection will begin on a grisly organized crime murder trial in Brooklyn. Roy Lindley DeVecchio, a former FBI Supervisory Special Agent, known in the Bureau as "Mr. Organized Crime," will face charges that he conspired with a psychotic wiseguy hitman to murder four people, including a beautiful waitress. Normally, this would be fodder for the New York tabloids, but this trial is different.
A re-examination of the DeVecchio charges could tarnish the reputations of a number of prominent ex-Feds, from presidential contender Rudy Giuliani to ex-FBI Director Louis Freeh. Even Hillary Clinton could be impacted, since a cover-up of the murder-conspiracy scandal took place on her husband's watch in 1996.
The Justice Department is so worried about the outcome, that a few weeks back, they moved a top al Qaeda terrorist into a cell next to the ex-wiseguy who will be the Brooklyn D.A.'s star witness.
