Frank Sheeran’s Lawyer: The Truth Behind The Irishman & Jimmy Hoffa
from Santana True Crime · host Cameron Santana, Eric Tansey
Did Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran really kill Jimmy Hoffa?Attorney Glenn Zeitz, who personally represented Sheeran in federal racketeering cases, joins Santana True Crime to separate the man he knew from the mythology that developed around him.Glenn takes us inside his early career defending figures connected to organized crime, his relationship with Sheeran, and the stories that never made it into Hollywood. He also challenges some of the most famous claims surrounding Sheeran—including the idea that “I heard you paint houses” was commonly used mob terminology and, most importantly, Sheeran’s alleged confession to killing Jimmy Hoffa.Glenn explains what he says Frank actually told him about Hoffa’s disappearance, why he believes Sheeran was involved but was not Hoffa’s killer, and what he thinks really happened that day.We also discuss Glenn’s remarkable courtroom career, his rule against representing informants—or “rats”—his experiences with the FBI, threats surrounding Sheeran, and what it was like to eventually watch his former client’s story become Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman.This is the Frank Sheeran story from someone who actually knew him, represented him, and was there long before Hollywood came calling.Santana True Crime
