Phil Trexler, the Beacon’s best overworked reporter, busts some solid graphs in a big piece on Frank Pignatelli today.
At the raid, authorities recovered from Pignatelli’s house more than $680,000 that was wrapped and concealed. From that day on, the man drug dealers depended on in court for their defense was now working undercover for the government.
Pignatelli was a defense attorney for drug runners but began working for the feds once they caught him on a wire instructing the bad guys about how to hide their loot. This story has it all, including a rare plea by a sitting Sheriff to go easy on a crook.
Kudos to Trexler.
