Frank "The German" Schweihs, reputed mobster and courtroom shenaniganeer,died last night at Thorek Hospital and Medical Center. He was 78.

Frank "The German" Schweihs was in court today, weakened but not defeated by his battle cancer. Schweihs was supposed to face prosecution as part of the Family Secrets, but he was too sick, so his trial is set for this October. He was in court today for a hearing, and boy oh boy was he chock full of insults and bad language, largely directed at prosecutors. When one apparently looked at Schweihs, the alleged mobster shouted, "Yeah you, you making eyes at me? Do I look like a fag to you?" He also called one of the prosecutors an "a[ss]hole," and upon observing that assistant US attorney wears a turban, asked his lawyer if they were "in a foreign country." You stay classy, The German!
