Al Capone beat a perjury rap in 1930. His trial will be recreated Sept. 28.
A historic Miami, Forida courtroom goes back in time this week to the days when local prosecutors had the nation’s most famous gangster — Al “Scarface” Capone“ — on the ropes and on trial for perjury.
Tuesday morning, in the same courtroom where he stood 80 years ago, actors will take part in a mock recreation of Capone’s trial at the Dade County Courthouse, 73 W. Flagler St.
Capone will take the stand in the now restored Courtroom 6-1 and utter the same words he did during his three-day trial there in July 1930. Starting at 9 a.m., the public is invited to attend the proceedings of the State of Florida vs. Alphonse Capone, Case #621. read more: MiamiHerald.com
