THROUGH THE KEYHOLE: My brother Herb Haak tells his side of the John Hall story in incredible detail. It’s a story about deep corruption in the Philadelphia Police Department and DA’s office.
Show Notes
We’ve told the John Hall Story from my perspective. We’ve told it from a journalistic perspective – thanks to our friend, the journalist Tom Lowenstein. Now we get to tell it from my brother Herb’s perspective.
And Herb’s perspective is particularly insightful because, like our friend Walter Ogrod, Herb was one of John Hall’s victims.
As we described in episode 4, Herb ratted out my mom for abandoning our younger sister. The cops showing up made John angry. The press showing up made it worse. With Herb’s case, John seems to have reached a kind of snitch’s critical mass. Except, rather than explode, John’s snitching career imploded. Most importantly, what happened to Herb broke the hold John Hall had on our family. This wasn’t the end of our dance with John, but we could see now that the music was going to end. And John was going to be the one getting kicked to the curb.
We cannot recommend highly enough that you buy and read Tom Lowenstein’s “THE TRIALS OF WALTER OGROD”. You can buy it here at Amazon or here at Goodreads.
