These are real photos of Oscar Goodman representing alleged gangster Anthony (“The Ant”) Spilotro, in and out of court. Oscar’s the taller one.
Tony was Oscar’s #1 client. He was also Oscar’s friend. Oscar always felt the FBI was using Tony as the face of All Organized Crime in Vegas. Oscar’s skills as a defense attorney kept Tony from prison, even as Tony was accused of some 22 murders.
Tony was infamous.
He was a character.
Joe Pesci played him in Scorsese’s “Casino.” Oscar appeared in the film as himself. It wasn’t the best career decision he ever made.
