		Blaise Picchi is an attorney, after all, and the degree of justice that Giuseppe Zangara received in that Miami courtroom in February and March of 1933 is a major part of his story.
		As the Captain so ably states, what lifts the Zangara shooting to a level of more than minor historical interest is the presence of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the implications for the United States, and the planet, had he been murdered that warm Florida night in February, 1933.
		Picchi probably believed that since Zangara was going to be executed, and wanted to make his case to the world, he would write honestly about himself because he had no reason to bend the truth.

		Through this metric shift, he ironically connects a march typically associated with ritual and respect with the act of assassination.
		A moment of supreme irony arises when Zangara begins crying out for photographers at his execution: “Only capitalists get photographers,” he complains.
