| Notes | In 28 years as a Manhattan prosecutor, Joan Illuzzi has never lost a felony case, earning a reputation for her folksy way of connecting with jurors and for her fierce cross-examinations. District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. appointed her the head of the Hate Crimes Unit in 2010 and has turned to her to handle several difficult-to-win cases in recent years, the Etan Patz case chief among them. |
