Oscar Goodman knows a little something about crime, especially the kind that's in the news lately. Take, for example, the Las Vegas Mob Museum he's busy getting built. Or: Attorney General Eric Holder's announcement on Thursday of one of the largest classic mafia crackdowns in American history, which resulted in the arrest of nearly 130 reputed mobsters and members of "La Costra Nostra," involving hundreds of feds, all five major mob families, unions, rats, murder, extortion, and some of best nicknames possibly ever. As the foundation for the next great Scorsese film gets played out in the news, we asked Goodman, the mayor of Las Vegas (since 1999) and former criminal defense attorney whose legal reputation for defending the (so-called) "mob" is legendary — to the extent that it earned him a cameo playing himself in Casino, anyway — for his wisdom on what one might need to do on the other side of the courtroom. Because sometimes it's The People against You.
