À propos de ce contenu audio
Bad boys, bright lights and sorry ends – the story of a gangster.
Joseph Leslie 'Squizzy' Taylor was many things to many people: a kind and caring husband, father and stepfather, a reliable son and brother, a generous and considerate neighbour and patron. He was also a criminal willing to consider any type of crime, provided it supported his lifestyle and his ego.
Squizzy graduated from teenage pickpocket to adult murderer, from organizing smash-and-grab raids on jewellers to corrupting juries and suborning witnesses. And he was nothing if not newsworthy. Whether appearing at the opening night of a new show at the top end of Bourke Street or climbing the steps en route to an appearance in the Supreme Court, Squizzy was news.
For more than a decade, Victoria's best detectives were unable to pin any one of a dozen major crimes he organized on Squizzy. Yet he met his match when street punk turned gunman Snowy Cutmore turned up in a darkened bedroom in a boarding house in Carlton.
