		Torres is alleged to have created a scheme to defraud by offering high-yielding Los Angeles and Orange County municipal bonds for investment and receiving clients' payments for the purchase of those investments, when in fact he had no intention to purchase and did not purchase said municipal bonds.
		Torres is alleged to have used his status as a member and past president of the Moraga Chamber of Commerce and a member and past president of the Moraga Rotary Club to engender trust and confidence in his victims.
		Torres is charged with depositing his clients' funds into his personal bank account and keeping investors from complaining to law enforcement and SunAmerica by mailing and wire-transferring checks as purported interest payments on the bonds.

	PUERTO RICO HERALD: Puerto Rico Profile: Judge Edwin Torres (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In 1991, for instance, Torres was the judge in the trial for the murder of a tourist on a New York subway platform.
		For Judge Torres, however, the end of a day in court is only the beginning of his night job as a writer of hard-boiled crime fiction.
		Torres’ books explore what one critic has called "the darkest and seamiest sides of law." They deal not only with deeds of gangsters and drug dealers but also, as in Q and A, with the insidious presence of racism and prejudice in the criminal justice system.

	DanceSafe: US FL: Judge Sets $10 Million Bail for Alleged Israeli 'AL
		U.S. Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres set the bail amount for Ze'ev Rosenstein over the objections of federal prosecutors, who said they were concerned that Rosenstein had ready access to huge assets and could readily flee the United States.
		But Torres said he was concerned about allowing Rosenstein to be held without bail or even a detention hearing for such a lengthy time since his extradition from Israel in early March.
		The judge added that even if Rosenstein, whom the Israelis liken to gangster Al Capone, could make the $10 million bail he would hold another hearing to set other conditions before he is released.

	Judge Rips Capeman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Across all the years, Edwin Torres still recalls the sneer on the face of the skinny kid known in fat type as Capeman.
		Thirty-seven years later, Torres is a judge and a novelist, whose career at the edge of fact and fiction produced "Carlito's Way" and "Q and A." Agron, who died of a heart attack in 1986, is about to hit Broadway posthumously.
		As a jurist, though, a devout believer in the sanctity of retribution, one whom inmates remember not as Edwin but as "Max," Torres is less sanguine on the subject of redemption, particularly when it comes to Salvador Agron, a member of a gang called The Vampires.

		After some admonishment from U.S. District Court Judge Robert E. Keeton, the city last month was ordered to pay a $5,390 fine for withholding documents requested by the attorney for Edwin Torres Colon, Juana Colon Hernandez, Wilfredo Torres and Wendy Alexander.
		But Judge Keeton pointed out that the city did not object within 30 days of the original request and that the records should have been turned over for both the plaintiff and the court to consider well before July.
		Judge Keeton's ruling required "the reimbursement of the expenses that were caused by the necessity of filing (plaintiffs') motion."

	Carlito’s Way (Ultimate Edition) - Review Hollywood North Report
		This is a period gangster film set in 1970’s Spanish Harlem, based on the books “Carlito’s Way” and “After Hours” by author Judge Edwin Torres, a fictionalized account of the Judge’s background and upbringing.
		What’s interesting is that De Palma’s Carlito’s Way is actually based more on Edwin Torres’ second book, “After Hours” which starts with Carlito released from prison.
		The first novel, “Carlito’s Way”, was actually the character as a youngster growing up and defining his roots in the gangster community of Spanish Harlem, taking him through the early years of his life — which obviously, Pacino couldn’t play due to the age of the character.
