The Lawyer Who Took Down The Chicago Outfit'


The Prosecutor Who Buried the Mob Jack Sbarbaro

He prosecuted criminals by day and buried them by night. Meet the most ironic figure in Chicago history.

In the violent era of 1920s Prohibition, the line between the law and the underworld was blurry—but for John "Jack" Sbarbaro, that line didn't exist at all.

Jack Sbarbaro lived a dangerous double life. To the public, he was an Assistant State's Attorney sworn to uphold justice. To the Chicago Outfit, he was the "Undertaker"—the business partner of notorious mob boss Dean O'Banion. Together, they ran the funeral home that handled the lavish burials of the very gangsters Sbarbaro was supposed to be prosecuting.

In this episode of History of Criminology, we dig into:

The bizarre partnership between a prosecutor and a hitman.

The "Gangster Funeral" phenomenon and the money behind it.

How Sbarbaro survived the Beer Wars to become a High Court Judge.

The famous "Omertà" moment at Johnny Torrio’s hospital bed.

This is a case study on systemic corruption and the "grey area" of justice.
