Mafia Cops Conspiracy Episode 3: The Jury Gives A Verdict of Guilty Without Evidence

On the last day of the trial just before the prosecution was called to sum up their case, Judge Weinstein ordered that Casso be called to speak about the details of his letters.

 In ordering a phone call with Casso, Judge Weinstein said that he had already determined Casso and the defendants were co-conspirators during a 20-year period. To make matters worse, neither Eppolito's nor Caracappa's attorneys were present during this call. Instead of representing their clients, they sent associates from their law firm (Ms. Kosetz and Ms. Schein). Eppolito's attorney, Cuttler had sent Bettina Schein, who by coincidence, had been the attorney in an earlier trial in which it was alleged a lead FBI agent had been an informant for the mob.

Schein failed to ask the question that could have blown the case wide open — "What was the name of the allegedly corrupt FBI agent? Had Casso ever heard of a man named Lin DeVecchio?! Had Casso ever heard of Greg Scarpa, Sr, the mobster DeVecchio was allegedly working for in the previous trial in which Schein was a lead attorney?"

Casso would later admit that Scarpa was not only his best friend but that DeVecchio was the allegedly corrupt FBI agent from whom he had received the information supposedly given him by the defendants. Schein never asked the questions and the Judge saw to it that the jury never heard a word about Casso exonerating the two so-called Mafia Cops.

Thus, the jury returned a guilty verdict without ever knowing that the mobster who had supposedly hired the NYPD detectives on trial had completely exonerated them of all the crimes with which they were charged and implicated instead a former FBI agent named DeVecchio who had just been indicted literally across the street on four counts of second-degree murder.

Caracappa died in prison of Stage 4 Cancer but Louie Eppolito remains in maximum prison for the past 15 years with no chance of parole.
