Louis Freeh Biography
Louis Freeh is one of the most popular and richest Lawyer who was born on January 6, 1950 in Jersey City, United States. Freeh was also involved in the murder trial Walter Moody. Walter Moody was accused of assassinating Robert Smith Vance, a federal judge in Birmingham, Alabama, and Robert Robinson, a Savannah, Georgia attorney. Freeh was named Special Prosecutor for the case along with Howard Shapiro. Vance was assassinated at his Mountain Brook home, Alabama on December 16, 1989 after he opened a parcel containing a bomb from serial bomber Walter Moody. Vance was instantly killed and Helen was hospitalized after sustaining serious injuries. Moody mistakenly believed Judge Vance had rejected his appeal in another case. Moody was charged by the Department of Justice with the murders of Judge Vance, and Robinson, a black civil rights attorney, who were also killed in an explosion at Robinson’s office. “Roy,” also was charged with mailing bombs which were defused at the Eleventh Circuit headquarters in Atlanta, and at the Jacksonville office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Moody was sentenced in 1991 to seven federal life sentences plus 400 years. In 1996, he was tried for the murders. He was then executed by Alabama in 2018. Vance’s son, Bob Vance (Democratic nominee), will be the Chief Justice of Alabama’s Supreme Court. He was previously defeated by Roy Moore in 2000.
An investigation of the August 1992 incident at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in which an FBI sharpshooter killed the wife of Randy Weaver, was ongoing when Freeh became director. An FBI unit, the Hostage Rescue Team, was present at the incident; Freeh later said that had he been director, he would not have involved the HRT. FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi was later charged with manslaughter; Freeh said that he was “deeply disappointed” at the charges, filed by a county prosecutor and later dropped.
Other cases handled by the FBI during Freeh’s tenure included the death of White House counsel Vince Foster (in 1993), allegations of incompetence at the FBI crime laboratory, investigation of the Oklahoma City bombing (1995) and the capture and prosecution of Timothy McVeigh.
One notable case Freeh was involved in was the “Pizza Connection”, which Freeh was also lead prosecutor. In the mid-1980s, the case was brought to light. It involved a drug trafficking operation in America by Sicilian organized criminal members using pizza parlors for fronts. After a 16 month trial, 17 out of 19 defendants were convicted and 16 were sentenced. The “Pizza Connection”, case, was at that time the most complicated criminal investigation by the U.S. government.
Freeh was an Eagle Scout as a young man and was awarded the Boy Scouts of America’s Distinguished Eagle Scout Award in 1995.
Freeh was nominated by President George H. W. Bush on April 9, 1991, to a seat on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York vacated by Judge Richard J. Daronco. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on May 24, 1991, and received commission on May 30, 1991. His service terminated on August 31, 1993, due to resignation.

The U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Government Information heard testimony from Freeh regarding the leaking of Richard Jewell’s name to the media in connection with the bombing at the 1996 Olympic Games. Freeh testified that he did not know how the name of Jewell, who had been falsely accused in the bombings, had been leaked to the media.
On July 17, 1996, TWA Flight 800 exploded and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, killing all 230 persons on board. The following day, the FBI commenced a parallel investigation in spite of the National Transportation Safety Board having “priority over any investigation by another department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States Government”, as stated in 49 U.S.C. § 1131. Subsequently, FBI agents blocked attempts by the NTSB to interview witnesses, according to a copy of a safety board report obtained by Aviation Week & Space Technology. One month after the explosion, chemists at the FBI crime laboratory in Washington found traces of PETN, an explosive component of bombs and surface-to-air missiles. However, on November 18, 1997, the FBI closed its investigation by announcing that “no evidence has been found which would indicate that a criminal act was the cause of the tragedy of TWA flight 800.” Almost three years later, in August 2000, the NTSB published its final report which stated that “the probable cause of the TWA flight 800 accident was an explosion of the center wing fuel tank (CWT), resulting from ignition of the flammable fuel/air mixture in the tank.”

Inside the building were almost exclusively members of the US Air Force who were there to patrol the southern Iraqi no-fly zone enacted after the Gulf War. In the attack, 19 US military personnel and a Saudi local were killed and 372 were wounded, making this the most deadly terrorist attack on Americans abroad since the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing. Louis Freeh said in his book My FBI that he felt the deepest about the Khobar Towers investigation, and it was not until his last day in office, June 21, 2001, a federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia returned a 46-count indictment against 14 defendants charged with the Khobar Towers attack. This was just before some of the counts would have expired due to a five-year statute of limitations. In the book, Freeh maintains that he was obstructed by the Clinton Administration for political reasons in investigating the bombing and bringing the terrorists to justice.

An investigation of the events of April 19, 1993 when Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) special agents served a warrant on the Branch Davidian compound at Waco, Texas was ongoing during Freeh’s tenure. While the event had taken place before he became Director, a highly controversial investigation ensued, including allegations of a cover-up by the FBI, and tensions developed between Freeh and Janet Reno, then-Attorney General. Reno, who had herself been blamed for mishandling of the confrontation and investigation, sent United States Marshals to FBI headquarters to seize Waco-related evidence.
In February 1997, the media announced that Freeh personally blocked the sharing of intelligence information regarding China’s alleged plot to influence US elections with the White House. The following month, Freeh testified before Congress that his investigation into campaign finance irregularities of the 1996 U.S. presidential and Congressional campaigns was not focusing on individual criminal acts, but on a possible conspiracy involving China. Later that year, Freeh wrote a memorandum to Attorney General Janet Reno calling for an Independent Counsel to investigate the fundraising scandal. In his memo he wrote: “It is difficult to imagine a more compelling situation for appointing an Independent Counsel”. Reno rejected his request.

In 1999, Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist Wen Ho Lee was fired from his job, arrested, and held without trial for 278 days while his handling of sensitive nuclear information was investigated. Freeh accused him of downloading a “portable, personal trove” of US nuclear secrets. But ultimately Lee pleaded guilty to just one of the fifty-nine counts brought against him, after which he was freed from jail. At Lee’s sentencing hearing, District Judge James A. Parker scolded the US government for its treatment of Lee, saying that the top decision makers in the case “have embarrassed this entire nation and each of us who is a citizen of it” and that they had been “led astray” by US government officials.
