Abstract
- The article reports on the racketeering trial of California grocery operator George Torres. Supporters of Torres argue that he is a hardworking and generous immigrant entrepreneur, while government prosecutors allege that he is a criminal who used murder, theft and intimidation to build his business empire. Torres has established his Numero Uno supermarkets in Los Angeles, California that cater to largely ethnic blue-collar neighborhoods.
