I knew some people who knew him groing up and they all said he became a giant asshole after he did Bronx Tale.

Seems to me he was just with the wrong guy at the wrong time.&nbsp; He didn't pull the trigger that killed the cop - but did he have a chance to stop the guy he's with?&nbsp; He'll do time, no doubt, but I don't think he should be up on murder charges, as he didn't murder the cop.

When I was in HS, I knew a bunch of kids that grew up with lilo. He was always a problem. right after aBronx Tale came out, I remember he got arrested for throwing a trash can through a store window...

[Rockvillejoe]

Bad? nah, dumber than a box rocks? yeah.

[Fezticle98]

<p>The thread title should read &quot;Is Soprano Bad Fella a star?&quot; </p><p>I say no.&nbsp;</p>

[JPMNICK]

and he was not a soprano star, he was a secondary cast member. He was the star of A Bronx Tale

<p>EliSnow is abosolutely right.&nbsp; He should be charged with felony murder.&nbsp; Unfortunately he will plea down to a lesser charge, and do minimal time.&nbsp; I may be a bit biased, given my line of work, but hopefully he'll be put away for a long time.</p>

Well, considering some scumbag just got off on murder charges yesterday for killing a cop, what say you on the outcome of this trial, probably wrapping up very soon...


Brancato Jury Still Out
18 December 2008 11:40 PM, PST

Jurors on Sopranos actor Lillo Brancato Jr's murder trial will resume deliberating over the verdict on Friday, after the case reached a deadlock.

Brancato is charged with second-degree murder over the death off-duty police officer Daniel Enchautegui, who was shot dead by Brancato's friend Steven Armento.

The actor took to the stand on Monday and the jury has since retired to consider their verdict on the case.

The case has not been without drama - Enchautegui's family have accused Brancato of smirking and his lawyer has been blasted by police for laughing during proceedings.

On Thursday, a mistrial was narrowly avoided after it was discovered a juror had been researching the case, which is not permitted.

At the end of proceedings on Thursday, jurors deadlocked 11-1 on the verdict and were sent home to resume their deliberations the following day.
