Originally broadcast on A&E in 1996.
They are the most feared figures in the business of organized crime--the triggermen whose job it is to eliminate contentious witnesses, rivals, and fellow mobsters in accordance with their bosses' orders. Today, the modern mob hitman--or woman--is a different breed than the Tommy-gun-toting stereotype of popular Hollywood gangster films. He or she may wear several different hats in the organization, killing when ordered, but performing more mundane tasks in the interim. In this exposé, "American justice" ventures inside the bloody mob wars that have scarred Philadelphia over the past decade. In addition to interviews with some of the mob's most notorious triggermen and women, this program features footage and news accounts of the city's recent brutal mob hits and introduces viewers to the police and prosecutors who have devoted their lives to catching these shadowy killers.
DVD; Dolby Digital stereo.
