Check out veteran defense attorney Joe Hayden’s personal recounting of the Bill Musto corruption trial in “The Art of the Jury Trial.”
The late Bill Musto, Mayor of Union City a state senator, and a war hero, got jammed up in a local corruption case, where then-Musto aide Bob Menendez testified against him.
Found guilty by a jury, Musto would go on to defeat Menendez the next day in the local election.
“THIS is my jury,” the incumbent proclaimed.
A court determined that Union City would need another election.
The winner of that tilt?
Rita Musto, the mayor’s wife.
“If you saw it in a Hollywood movie, you’d think it was contrived,” said Hayden, a member of the defense team.
Musto was convicted and sentenced in 1982.
