Episode: Episode 313 - The Gilgo Beach Killings - Part 1
This book tells the story of the corruption of Jimmy Burke, a former Chief of Police who was eventually sentenced to nearly four years in prison for violating Christopher Loeb's civil rights. The book is described as so unbelievable that it reads like a film script.
I read an entire 450-page book all about him by journalist Gus Garcia Roberts called Jimmy the King.
And I think, I've forgotten who the review's from, but the review at the top of the front cover says, if Martin Scorsese wrote a film about corrupt cops, this is that story.
