Journalist Tom Robbins on F.B.I Trial

WNYC News | Jul 12, 2010

New York, NY —

The case against an F.B.I. agent who's accused of helping commit four murders is likely to be dropped today. That's because ten years ago the star witness -- mob girlfriend Linda Schirro -- gave an interview to Village Voice writer Tom Robbins. And what she said then is totally different from what she said in court this week and he has the tapes to prove it.
