Worth watching, not sure if I like the guy though - typical lawyer...

He represented a lot of organized crime figures and had a cameo as himself in the movie Casino - he was Tony Spilotro's brief..

You know Vegas has changed. There's an ad for yoga parties on the sign outside the window. Spilotro would have been a lot of fun at yoga parties.

Watched some of it very interesting he acted for tons of big guys. Lot of energy for an old guy. Watched the longer documentary that he done in the nineties the other day which was also good.

And I would add that he has done nothing wrong. We need all lawyers for both defence and prosecution to be the best. If the government can’t prove a case shame on them and it wasn’t strong enough. Innocent unless proven otherwise - period.

lol. Whether he's done anything "wrong" is a matter of personal standards. Technically he's done nothing illegal. But nothing "wrong"? He knew he was defending thieves and murderers.

Confused as to your point oak. in a civilised society everyone has the right to the best defence they can buy. Someone has to do it so I certainly don’t think he has done anything wrong at all. He is a needed part of the process.

So every defence attorney is wrong and should just tell their clients to not put a defence on?

Everyone thought lansky was old and retired but he was still making money

Being a retained attorney for ppl you know are stealing and murdering is wrong. It's only legal as a necessary evil. Never questioned the legality, just his character. Oscar Goodman is garbage, and he's living on blood money.

If someone says thier innocent thier entitled to thier day in court, it prevents the innocent from being wrongfully accused also

I heard Goodman say that he was pretty confident he would have been able to successfully defend Spilotro in his last trial. How would he have been able to get him off? At that point they had flipped Frank Cullotta right? He must have made hundreds of thousands of dollars representing Tony over the years. Pretty shitty that in Cullotta's book he says he ran into Tony's wife and she was broke. You'd think 'ole Oscar could have slipped her some of that $$$$, the Outfit guys certainly weren't going to help out.

Goodman's usefulness as legal counsel is a necessary evil in a jury trial system. Never questioned his role in the legal system (for the umpteenth time). I question his ethics. He knew who was retaining him, and he's still bathing in the blood money.

As Carlito Brigante would say, "You aint a lawyer no more Davey. You a gangsta now". Goodman's just a lucky scoundrel. Nothing more.

In Leonetti's book, he says that Bobby Simone was the best criminal trial lawyer that ever walked into a Philadelphia courtroom. He then says how Simone says something along the lines of the best lawyer out there is Goodman. Phil ends up using him and winning. Simone walked the thin line. Goodman never was disbarred and became mayor and then his wife. The guy was a badass lawyer. He beat the case when Cullota testified against Spilotro. For those who have jobs, there are those who just maintain and then there are those who strive for excellence and break away from the herd. Goodman was the latter.

Couldn't agree more. Goodman was a great lawyer. Scumbag of a person. He knew what he was doing all along.

Goodman is also a classless person around dignitaries, and probably a racist.

Oak respect your opinion but completely disagree. I think blue racing fully sums it up above. Because he was good at his job does not make him a scum bag. Feds have to prove it and if they fail shame on them, certainly not shame on the good defence lawyer. U say he knew what he was doing- are you referring to his job?

How do you come up with racist for Goodman? That's a big assumption to make about a person.

It is possible for one to be good at their job and be a scumbag. Being good at your job doesn't absolve you of all other wrong doings. Good lawyer, yes. (for the hundredth time). Good person? He was repeatedly representing people who he knew were thieves and murderers. I could see doing one pro bono case for the sake of preserving the jury trial system and the presumption of innocence and shit like that there. But to repeatedly take money from these monsters? Fuck Oscar Goodman. And, his shunning of President Obama is inconsequential. Obama's shaken hands with people much wealthier and more influential than that shameless, dusty artifact from old Vegas.

Now we know the reason you have been so adamant about hating Goodman. Obama. You should have stated that at the beginning.

There are defence lawyers who get pedophiles and rapists off. If you are a pedophile or rapist you will want them on your side, and they are doing a good job for you, but for God's sake, we aren't going to argue that what they are doing is honorable or ethical, are we?

I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

I was dead on point, you are the one reaching, You were on a rant this entire thread, your saying he refused to meet with Obama revealed the reason you hate the man. It's common knowledge. lol

Well, let's be honest, only an asshole would refuse to meet Obama.
