NEW YORK – Lillo Brancato, who played a bumbling aspiring mobster on "The Sopranos," was cleared Monday of second-degree murder in the shooting death of an off-duty policeman during a drunken, late-night search for drugs.

The jury convicted Brancato of a lesser charge of attempted burglary. He faces a minimum of three years in prison on that count, but the former actor could get credit for time served because he has been behind bars about that long.

Brancato showed no reaction as the verdict was read — his face impassive, his fingers pressed together. His mother, seated a couple rows back in the gallery, began sobbing.

Prosecutors say Brancato and accomplice Steven Armento broke into a basement apartment to steal prescription drugs after a night of drinking at a strip club. Officer Daniel Enchautegui, who lived next door, came out to investigate.

Armento blasted the 28-year-old officer with his .357 Magnum, hitting him in the heart. The dying officer fired back, wounding both men. Armento was convicted earlier this year of first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Yolanda Rosa Nazario, the victim's sister, said she was baffled by the verdict.

See how faulty the system is...

This is the same shit the black kids in the Sean Taylor case did. Broke in attempting to steal, and ended up letting off some rounds, resulting in the death of someone looking to protect the property.

Same crime...totally different time. I know his co-defendant is pissed. :smh:
 
He should have got off. They got the other guy for the murder and should have just charged this cat with burglary and been done with it.

Basically...I read up on the case when I was back home and you woulda swore he pulled the trigger the way the news told it...
 
Good. My nigga Rodger just got off the murder rap of that cop in Brooklyn. They're gonna get him good on the weapons violation charges though.
And fuck the PBA president.
