The story of mobster Jack DiNorscio and the longest mafia trial in U.S. history. Jack is shot by his cousin and survives, but is later arrested for dealing drugs and sentenced to thirty years in prison. The prosecutor offers Jack a deal; if he rats on his friends he will be immediately released. Jack turns down the deal, and as the trial starts he makes the unusual decision to defend himself, despite having no legal experience. Can this New York wise guy convince a jury he's not the monster he's portrayed as? (High Fliers Films)
