Nudie Reads Lawyer Hate [S1E42]

Hating on the lawyers is an ancient and noble past-time. Al Capone's lawyer was Albert Fink. He lost. It's a good bet Capone rather hated him. But Fink certainly tried to get his client off tax evasion charges. And his summation at trial is some great oratory captured as part of the court transcript. Great writing from the legal system. ️🇺🇸💰👨‍⚖️ 🧢1

His name is a byword for being a pants man. But Casanova was also a classic Enlightenment era writer. He was a true libertine and his jailbreak story, from Venice's notoriously unbreakable Piombi prison, taken from his memoirs, is a ripping yarn. 🇮🇹🎼✍️😘
