I think a lot of people were stunned.

And I think, though, he kind of jokes about it with his lawyers after the sentence.

He says, OK, well, I'll see you.

Looks like I'm going to be gone for a while.

He knows that he was playing dirty his whole career.

He knows that he got away with all kinds of things, possibly including murder.

And now, in a way, this isn't the way the justice system is supposed to work, but there's some karma involved.

Like he knows that he's been had.

He knows that they got the better of him and he's going to have to do his time.

We forget, first of all, how young Capone was when he was at the height of his powers.

He was in his early 30s.

And then he goes away to prison and is diagnosed almost immediately with tertiary syphilis.

So he's discovered that he's got a neurological condition and he's slowly and steadily declining mentally and physically.

So by the time he leaves prison, he's really in poor shape.

He's basically 40 years old.

but he's wracked with dementia from syphilis.

In most cases, you know, if he'd been healthy at age 40, he could have had a whole new life.

He could have, today he'd be hosting a podcast for sure.

He'd be a celebrity, but he just disappears.

He stays at his home in Palm Island, Florida.
