Rudy Giuliani's Father A THUG: He Did 8 Years For Armed Robbery
In 1934, Harold Giuliani was busted in a botched two-man robbery of a milkman. The accomplice got away. Giuliani made things worse for himself by initially giving a false name. Although no one in Giuliani's family had a prayer of posting his $5,000 bail, apparently he had friends who could. Three days after being arrested, he was bailed out by one Valentine Spielman.
Meanwhile, the milkman, apparently after being visited by several people at 4 in the morning who threatened him, recanted his original story and said that it was the other man, not Giuliani, who had pressed a gun to his stomach. How conveeeeeeenient! The sudden change in the victim's testimony meant a reduction in charges against Giuliani, who pled guilty to one count of robbery in the third degree.
Although Giuliani's lawyer pled for leniency, the judge was unmoved. "I am a very sympathetic judge, he explained, "but I have no sympathy for robbers with guns." He was sentenced to five years in Sing Sing, not only for his participation in an armed robbery but because he steadfastly refused to identify his accomplice and because he had originally given the arresting officer a false name. Eight years after his dad was released, little Rudy was born.
