The show features anything crime related. Current high profile cases or
trials are discussed in detail with commentary from law enforcement experts
and lawyers. Guests like Henry Hill, the former mobster and Lucchese crime
family associate, and subsequent FBI informant whose life was immortalized
in the Goodfellas movie also will be featured. What it's like to be a P.I.,
the latest technology and crime detection resources as well as forensics
methods are also discussed on Crime Time. In addition, listener calls will
be answered(i.e. How do I know if my spouse is cheating?).
Each program includes a segment entitled "WHAT WERE THEY THINKIN'?!" This
centers on bizarre crime related news, possible new laws across the country,
i.e. police in NY state told to shoot to wound in a confrontation with a
criminal instead of shooting to kill;convicted criminals in 8 states having
access to citizens social security numbers as part of their inmate work
programs, etc. Vito comments on these subjects and listeners can also call
in to give their opinion or perhaps their own examples.
