“Mountain Mafia” is a brief history of the Black Hand and Mafia in the Rocky Mountain region, and brings to life some of the West’s more colorful organized crime leaders of the 20th century. The famous court case of “Scotty” Spinuzzi is looked at in depth; Spinuzzi was acquitted of murder “because no one saw the bullet leave the gun.”
