In Miami, Flordia John Connolly, a former FBI agent was sentanced to 40 years in prison for the 1982 mobb-related killing of a Miami gambling executive. The judge sentenced him after the defence made the argument that "a four year statute of limitaions had expired." Connolly was conviced of second degree murder in the killing of John Callahan. Because this arguement was leagally correct and appeal is expected.
Connolly provided Boston mobsters with information leading them to the murder of Callahan when he gave his trial testomony, Showing no emotion. He currently is serving a 10 year sentance for corrupt dealings with Boston's Winter Hill Gange. The judge decided that this new sentance will begin when the 10 year sentance ends in 2011.
Callahan was shot to death by a mob hit man. The hit man confessed to the killings and the cictoms body was placed in the trunk of his Cadillac. Where the body was discovered several days later at the Miami International Airport parking lot.
By dealing with the mobsters, they would often give him tips for high profile FBI take downs. He clames the all FBI officers have to work with shady criminals and that he would never knowingly do harm to anyone.
I think its a really sad thing when FBI agents, and Police officers become the crimals to high profile crimes such as giving information to mobsters to help with killings. There are some "crimes" that most people take part in, such as jay walking, or speeding. But Killing goes against everything society, school, and religions teach children growing up and killing is something that just isnt exceptable. By what he has done it brings a bad image to "the badge". Police officers and FBI agents use their badge as something that is respectable, and when this one agent uses the badge distastefully it can bring shame upon others. But the beauty of this is, justice is being served.
