Imagine being a kid whose father was Al Capone's attorney and being taken to school by Sam "the Cigar" Giacana.No word yet from Mayor Daley or Alderman Burke on this one.
That's the early life of Donald "Donnie" Parrillo, who has written and self-published a book, "Capone May Go Free," about his family's connections to the Chicago mob. Parrillo served as councilman in Chicago's notorious First Ward, which has been credited with swinging the presidential election in favor of John F. Kennedy.
"It's about an era that's never going to happen again," Parrillo said. "Today, organized crime is very little. It's more of a myth."
