Harry Aleman

Common card · No. 345286

Harry "The Hook" Aleman (January 19, 1939 – May 15, 2010) was a Chicago mobster who was one of the most feared enforcers for the Chicago Outfit during the 1970s. Aleman got the nickname "Hook" from his boxing career in high school. He is also famous for being the only person in the United States ever to be acquitted of murder, then legally tried and convicted for murder when the initial trial was found to be corrupt and therefore not considered a case of double jeopardy; the Chicago judge was recruited specifically to acquit Aleman during a bench trial.
