Just the misunderstood protagonists of their own superhero stories. Well, this was Richard's final chance to prove that at least in his case, that might be true. Was he really a fighter for the law? Or would he throw in his lot with the family? Richard answered those questions quite clearly.

In the end, when the law came at him, Richard stood shoulder to shoulder with Ralph and Alphonse. He was given a chance, one final chance, to make his brothers face the music and tell the truth about the inner workings of their criminal enterprise. And he refused. He lied on the stand. like they had so many times before, Richard's lies paid off. Ralph Capone's case didn't go to trial.
