Capone was accused of committing 22 tax evasion crimes by federal officials, who were determined to put him in prison. In 1931, he was found guilty on five counts.
The judge accepted Capone’s admissions of his income and unpaid taxes, made during earlier negotiations to pay the government taxes he owed, as evidence during a highly publicized case.
He was found guilty and given an eleven-year federal prison term. His grounds for appeal were bolstered by a Supreme Court decision after his conviction.
After being found guilty, he replaced his defense team with tax law specialists, but his appeal eventually fell short.
Early in his imprisonment, Capone began to exhibit symptoms of neurosyphilis, and before being released from prison after almost eight years, he became more and more disabled.
