** The judge at Capone's trial switched the ''pool'' of eligible jurors prior to the trial with that of an unrelated case, allowing both prosecution and defense to conduct proper juror selection, not the whole jury mid-trial. Additionally, Capone was found guilty by the jury, which he calmly accepted, his lawyer did not enter a guilty plea against his wishes and Capone did not punch him (Capone had a public image of being AffablyEvil, and physically striking his attorney would ruin that).

Wilson (whom Oscar Wallace bears resemblance to), and helped by an undercover agent named Mike Malone, who got himself into Capone's inner circle and access to Capone's ledger.
