Flashback 1953: Nancy Pelosi's Brother Charged With Lying During Rape Trial

Flashback to the New York Times December 12, 1953 page 16. The subject is Nancy Pelosi's brother Franklin D. Roosevelt D'Alesandro. (Sorry no link on this one.)
Baltimore,Dec.11(UP)- A Baltimore city grand jury recommended today that Franklin D. Roosevelt D'Alesandro, son of Baltimore's Mayor, be prosecuted for lying during his recent rape trial. The grand jury also recommended that an indictment be drawn against James Pollack, long-time Democratic political leader, for trying to obstruct justice during the trial in which the youth won acquittal. The grand jury made its recommendations in which presentments, which in this state precede the issuance of indictments. D'Alesandro, 20-year-old son of Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro, was charged, with more than a dozen other youths, of moral charges in two girls, ages 11 and 13.
No comment on this flashback from Nancy.
