The Black Hand: An Organized Crime History Podcast

Send us a text

On Part 2 of Episode 57, we continue our look into the history of Deputy gangs in the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, last week we talked about the rise of the first deputy gangs in the department, the culture that this created in the department, and how the Lynwood Vikings rose to prominence and carried it on, leading to a multi million dollar lawsuit being filed by the victims, but on today's show, we'll be talking about one man that fell through the cracks, and instead of receiving a beating or being jacked up for a petty charge, he was condemned to 20 years in prison for a murder he didnt commit, and was more than likely framed for, as well as how cases like this showcased the incredibly high levels of corruption that the Vikings were able top cultivate. However, just to give you guys a heads up, there wont be a new episode next week, as I'll be taking a short break for the holidays, but we'll be back soon enough, with a fresh episode on January 10th 2024, but with that said, i hope everyone thoroughly enjoyed today's show, stays safe, enjoys the holidays, and joins me back and even better for the New Year, thank you all for your continuing support, you make the show possible!
