He won convictions of Jersey City Mayor Gerald McCann (bank fraud, tax evasion), "Crazy Eddie" Antar (racketering, securities fraud; apparently his prices were so low because he was a crook), Arthur and Irene Seale (kidnapping and murder of an Exxon executive) and former New York State Chief Judge Sol Wachtler (sending interstate kidnapping threats). These are just a few high-profile cases.

Did he try these cases himself or was he in a supervisory role? Just curious, as I don't know much about him.
