Lillo Brancato Gets 10 Years for Burglary

Lillo Brancato Jr., once promising actor whose descent into drugs led to a confrontation that left an off-duty police officer dead, was sentenced to ten years for burglary. He was found not guilty of murdering Officer Daniel Enchautegui (Brancato's associate Steven Armento, who pulled the trigger, was found guilty earlier in an earlier trial and is serving a life sentence). Brancato's lawyer was trying to argue his client should get time-served for the burglary conviction, since he had been in prison since the 2005 incident, but the Bronx DA's office said they'd fight it.

    There is no straight 10 year sentence given. It either 10 to 15 and if this is the case, he has to do 7 years and then get paroled. If it was 5 to 10 then he will to 2 more years and released on paroled for 5 years

    Out in 3 unless he tries his acting "skills" in prison, at which point he could be there for life.

  • break down:



    he has served 3 years on rikers island.

    he will go to state prison and serve 7 more years.

  • Rocknrope

    10 years including his time served or 10 years from now? How does that work?

  • Well, he has already served 3. So he's really getting 7.

    He'll prob serve 1-2 and get out on parole for good behavior.

    was not expecting that.

    and the drunk driver yesterday gets 4 weekends in jail and one month of community service.
