Sharkey Seeks New Trial After Slay Verdict
Henry W. Unger appeared before Justice Fitzgerald in the Supreme Court to argue Sharkey’s application for a certificate of reasonable doubt after he was convicted of second degree manslaughter in the killing of banker Nicholas Fish outside a West Thirty-fourth Street saloon last September.
