Vincent Flemmi - Benjamin Murder

Benjamin Murder

According to Kevin Weeks, a longtime associate of Flemmi's brother Stephen,

"The murder of Francis Benjamin, for which the Bear had gotten the life sentence, was a particularly ugly one. After he'd shot Benjamin in the head, using a gun that belonged to a cop, the Bear had cut off the head to avoid any ballistics evidence tracing the gun to the crime. But they fingered him anyhow."

    It is precisely the purpose of the public opinion generated by the press to make the public incapable of judging, to insinuate into it the attitude of someone irresponsible, uninformed.
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    Confusion now hath made his masterpiece!
    Most sacrilegious murder hath broke ope
    The Lord’s anointed temple, and stole thence
    The life o’ the building.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
