Martin J. McNally – Part 6

Arrest and Trial Of McNally

Martin J. McNally in Lineup

Shortly after, Mac arrives back home with a new plan. He is going to skyjack another plane and ask for a million dollars this time.

As Mac makes contacts with his criminal associates, one of them alerts a Detroit police officer who passes this along to the F.B.I. This contact agrees to work with the Bureau and wears a wire trying to get Mac to implicate himself on tape as well as reveal his plan for the next skyjacking.

The F.B.I. puts a full court press surveillance on Mac over the next couple of days. After a meeting with the wired up informant, the F.B.I. makes the arrest and searches his house in the Detroit suburb of Wyandotte, Michigan.

The U. S. Attorney returns Mac to St. Louis for trial because that is where the crime occurred. Mac retains a lawyer but the evidence is very strong. McNally’s attorney appeals on the basis the F.B.I. entered his home prior to obtaining a search warrant. After hearing compelling evidence this breach of the law may have occurred, the judge ruled against him. Mac settles in to serve two life terms for skyjacking.

  1. GARY, THIS IS INDEED EXPLOSIVE DATA !!! THE SEARCH FACTS ARE OUT THERE NOW. ON THAT ISSUE, THE TRIAL JURY –NEVER–CONSIDERED THOSE SEARCH ISSUES. ONE OF THE MAIN FBI AGENTS ON IT WAS LAWRENCE A. BONNEY, THE SAME FBI AGENT WHO CONSULTED IN –“SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.” A FEW YEARS AGO I TRACKED HIM DOWN TO HIS HOME AND SENT HIM A REQUEST TO COME CLEAN ABOUT THE ILLEGAL ENTRY INTO MY HOME. NEVER GOT A RESPONSE AND HE’S PROBABLY DEAD . YOU DO GOOD WORK !!! THANKS !!! DANNY WILL BE HERE AT 5 P.M. TODAY AND WANTS TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.. SO I’LL TELL HIM THAT YOU HAVE ALL OF THE FACTS –EXCEPT–WHAT ACTUALLY WENT DOWN DURING 37 YEARS IN PRISON—–KILLINGS, ESCAPES, ASSAULTS ETC.

  2. WENT TO PAROLE HEARING AUGUST 29, 2016. LASTED 45 MINUTES — EXAMINER HAD MY ENTIRE PRISON RECORD AND ASKED ME ABOUT THINGS THAT HAPPENED DURING FIRST 10 YEARS. TOLD HIM I HAVE A CLEAR RECORD SINCE 1982, 6 OF WHICH WHILE ON PAROLE IN CIVIL ORDERED SOCIETY. EXAMINER ASKED FED. P.O. WHAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT ME BEING RELEASED FROM LIFE PAROLE. P.O. SAID: “KEEP HIM ON BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE CRIME.” DON’T HAVE THE –DECISION –BUT I EXPECT TO REMAIN ON PAROLE AND HAVE ANOTHER HEARING IN 24 MONTHS !! I WILL APPEAL.. PAROLE DECISION APPEALS ALWAYS FAIL WHEN IT GOES TO A FEDERAL JUDGE, BUT I’LL TAKE IT ANYWAY.. I COULDA PLEAD GUILTY AND RECEIVED A SENTENCE OF NOT MORE THAN 28 YEARS BUT REFUSED BECAUSE OF THE ILLEGAL SEARCH OF MY HONE BY F.B.I. AGENTS.. ALL OF THIS STUFF WILL BE COVERED BY DANNY OF “RIVER FRONT TIMES” AND OTHER PAPERS OF HIS COMPANY..
