Title: Hoffa in Tennessee Condition: New Subtitle: The Chattanooga Trial That Brought Down an Icon Author: Maury Nicely Format: Hardback EAN: 9781621904755 ISBN: 9781621904755 Publisher: University of Tennessee Press Genre: Law & Politics Topic: History, Society & Culture, Business & Finance Release Date: 30/04/2019 Description: Jimmy Hoffa, acquitted in a Nashville court during the Test Fleet case, was under investigation for jury tampering and subsequently tried and convicted in Chattanooga after a judge in Nashville granted a change of venue. Nicely explores Hoffa's time in Tennessee, the major players in the case, and the development of Bobby Kennedy, then chief counsel of the Senate's McClellan Committee, as Hoffa's main antagonist. All the while, Hoffa's continued legal troubles created a high amount of tension between the Teamsters, management, and members of organized crime. While many books overlook this important tipping point in Hoffa's career, tending to focus on his disappearance, Nicely mines court transcripts and presents the Tennessee trials as both the height of Hoffa's perceived invincibility and the beginning of his downfall.
