Last week Maurice Nadjari passed away at the age of 95. To anyone under the age of 50, it’s understandable if the name doesn’t ring a bell. To anyone from New York over 50 you have no excuse. From 1972 till 1977 before Nadjari crashed and burned in the race for Queens District Attorney, he was in all the headlines.

Nadjari was the leading story on TV news and every opener on 1010 WINS began with “today NYS Special Prosecutor Maurice Nadjari said . . . . .” For half a decade New York State Special Prosecutor Maurice Nadjari was everywhere with a press conference announcing a cure to all of the ills plaguing us, from the police to courthouse corruption.
