# James McElroy

Canonical: https://mobfiles.org/people/james-mcelroy/

A defendant in the 1987 Westies racketeering indictment, tried with James Coonan before Judge Whitman Knapp and sentenced to sixty years, according to the Second Circuit's 1995 opinion.

No opinion filed here states a position for McElroy in the group, so no role is set. The 1991 opinion's account of acts it attributes to him is a recital of evidence at another defendant's trial and is left on the [opinion's page](/items/courtlistener-us-v-coonan-938-f2d-1553/). His personal relationships, which the 1995 opinion mentions in passing, are not repeated.
