A young Italian Mafioso helps get rid of a body in Queens. In Manhattan, a hedge fund portfolio manager misrepresents his company's assets to investors. At JFK International Airport, a college student returns from Jamaica with cocaine stuffed in the handle of her suitcase. These are just a few of the stories that come to life in this comprehensive look at the Southern District Court in Manhattan, and the Eastern District Court in Brooklyn--the two federal courts tasked with maintaining order in New York City. Johnny Dwyer takes us not just into the courtrooms but into the lives of those who enter through its doors: the judges and attorneys, prosecutors and defendants, winners and losers. He examines crimes we've read about in the papers or seen in movies and television--organized crime, terrorism, drug trafficking, corruption, and white-collar crime--and weaves in the nuances that rarely make it into headlines. Brimming with detail and drama, The Districts illuminates the meaning of intent, of reasonable doubt, of deception, and--perhaps most importantly of all--of justice"--cProvided by publisher.10aUnited States.bDistrict Court (New York : Eastern District).10aUnited States.bDistrict Court (New York : Southern District). 0aDistrict courtszNew York (State)zNew York. 0aCriminal justice, Administration ofzNew York (State)zNew York. 7aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Freedom & Security / Law Enforcement.2bisacsh 7aLAW / Criminal Law / General.2bisacsh 7aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / Judicial Branch.2bisacsh  aFederal district courts08iOnline version:aDwyer, Johnny, author.tDistrictsdNew York : Knopf, 2019z9781101946558w(DLC) 2019005226  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBK  ilmm  001040708CSaBJBbBJBcAPTd2021-02-08l0oKF 8755 D993d 2019p00000138191r2021-02-08 00:00:00t1w2021-02-08yBK
