Almost three years after off-duty police officer Daniel Enchautegui was killed, after trying to stop a robbery next to his home in the Bronx, one of his accused killers' trial begins. Steven Armento and Lillo Brancato, on the prowl for drugs, had been trying to break into a house when Enchautegui intervened; though shot by Armento, Enchautegui, 28, managed to shoot both men. Yesterday, Armento's lawyer said it was the cop's fault, for not properly identifying himself, but prosecutors said the slain cop did ID himself and told them not to move. The defense also told the jury that a prosecution witness (from the NYPD) would "lie to you." Patrolmen's Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch said, "[Armento] deserves a defense, but they’re not entitled to make fiction into fact. I’ve never been so insulted in a courtroom by that animal’s defense."

Grammar is bad enough but learn to spell check at least, please.
If this is the defense's only defense, the defendants are cooked. Good riddance.
The man needs some serious prescription face cream or something. Maybe a little sun?
Um, Kojak...that's a picture of the dead cop. I don't think he needs any kind of cream...any more.
Whoops. But he was alive when that picture was taken right?? ... but point taken.
Why no A Bronx Tale references? This is the kid that went from being "the next Robert DeNiro" to robbing dead drug dealers and shooting cops in the process. No one remember all the amazing tabloid headlines when this happened 3 years ago?
How do I spell Colodgeral?
