Don't get me wrong, I like the series watched as a kid and watch. I always wondered why the real Ness was never called out for over blowing his so called heroics. By the time the series came out he was dead. But when the book came out, he's lucky he had died by that time. Talk about law suits. When you really think about it, Ness wouldn't dare slap nitti or any of the others, he's shown doing. Capone didn't even recognize him, he was a little man with a big ego. The only thing he's know for is helping, with Capone tax trial true he got credit for that. Other than that he wasn't breaking down doors and man handling gangsters. He was a womanizer and alcoholic in real life. Like I said the series is good, but people need to separate fact from fiction.
