Was Charles Sberna wrongly convicted of the murder of Police
Officer John H.A. Wilson? Was an innocent man sent to the electric
chair in 1939? What reasons could the authorities have had for
refusing to consider alternatives and rushing Sberna into Sing Sing
Prison's death device? 'Wrongly Executed?' provides the details and
historical background of the Sberna case. The story is a complex
and controversial one, involving celebrity attorneys, Mafia bosses,
violent political radicals, media giants and ruthless establishment
figures, all set in a period in which Americans sought stability
and government-imposed order after years of political upheaval,
economic depression and Prohibition Era lawlessness.
Volume I. DiCarlo: Buffalo's First Family of Crime is the
historical biography of Mafioso Joseph J. DiCarlo, once known as
"the Al Capone of Buffalo" and as western New York's "Public Enemy
No. 1." Son of the region's first known Sicilian underworld boss,
DiCarlo was rejected as heir to his father's criminal empire. After
spending troubled years as a vassal of the influential Stefano
Magaddino, DiCarlo and his underlings wandered, seeking their
fortunes in Youngstown, Ohio, and Miami Beach, Florida, before
returning home to witness the bloody disintegration of western New
York's Mafia organization. The authors utilize DiCarlo's colorful
and violent life story as a window into the history of the powerful
Magaddino Crime Family and the American Mafia network, while
chronicling the parallels between the life of DiCarlo and the
history of the criminal organization that was founded by his
father. "This is, truly, the definitive piece about the Buffalo
Mafia." - Lee Coppola, award-winning Buffalo journalist.
