Cops guilty of murders while on mob payroll
http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/mofia06.html

NEW YORK-- Two decorated former police detectives were convicted Thursday of moonlighting as hitmen for the mob in what a prosecutor described as "the most violent betrayal of the badge this city has ever seen."

A federal jury deliberated for two days before announcing the verdicts against Louis Eppolito, 57, and Steven Caracappa, 64.

The two detectives, who spent a combined 44 years on the New York City Police force and once worked as partners, now face up to life in prison.

Eppolito and Caracappa were accused of leading a double life for years. In the daylight, they were respected city detectives, but at the same time, they moonlighted as hired killers for Luchese crime family underboss Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso.

2. These guys are slimeballs
They killed one guy in cold blood on the Belt Parkway. I'm glad they're finally going away for a long time.

3. But you should never go against cops.

They never do anything wrong. They'll never accost you inappropriately. You should just sit down and shut up when a cop tells you to.
