A. Tarzan Burglar Case
Between 1981 and 1982, a criminal known as the "Tarzan burglar" was swinging on ropes tied to rooftops and breaking into apartments by crashing through windows. Sometimes he merely robbed the apartments. Other times, he came through the glass with guns blazing.
Mo said the case had a little bit of everything: murder, assault, burglary, weapons possession. By the time police finally arrested a suspect, the Tarzan burglar had murdered three people, shot at a half-dozen more and was thought to be behind more than 20 burglaries.
"That case is almost like a case that encompasses all that we normally associate with society being engulfed by crimes," Mo said. "It was a prosecutor's dream."
In Morgenthau's office, young prosecutors don't try homicides on their own — they have to work with a more senior attorney first. Mo got the Tarzan case, and Sotomayor was assigned to help him. It was her first murder case.
"She had that uncanny ability of putting together a complicated set of facts and distilling them into a very simple story that would resonate with the jury," Mo said. "That's unusual for a young attorney."
Mo let her present half the case in court, something he said rarely happened with a new attorney in that office. The Tarzan burglar, Richard Maddicks, was convicted. He got 62 years to life.
