Justice for Hero’s Family

It took 33 years, but the family of Court Officer Albert Gelb finally got a measure of justice last week when Charles Carneglia, the sociopath believed to have murdered him 33 years ago, was sentenced to life behind bars.

It was a reminder of the fallacy in regarding mobsters as tough guys. Mr. Carneglia was a penny-ante punk, with or without a gun in his hand. The tough guys in this world are people like Mr. Gelb, who enforce the law honestly and don’t back down when threatened by such vermin.
