Capone parole bid cited with time off and unpaid fine
The motion argues Capone deserves 1200 days off for good behavior instead of 1320 claimed by Teitelbaum. It notes $20,000 of a $50,000 fine remains unpaid and proposes a pauper oath to offset the balance with 30 extra days. Capone was moved to Terminal Island prison from Alcatraz on January 20 as Judge Hollzer presides.
