Anthony Casso Casso
On the day prosecutors planned to rest their case, there came, in a 1 p.m. conference call from a maximum-security federal prison, the voice of Anthony Casso, former underboss of the Luchese crime family. After 12 years in prison, nearly 8 of them in Florence, Mr. Casso was calling the defense to exonerate the two defendants, Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa. Mr. Casso concluded his letter by reminding Mr. Feldman of his three and a half years. After Mr. Casso was arrested more than a decade ago, he started working with the government, and so agreeably at first that prosecutors tried to use his help in building a case against Mr. Eppolito and Mr. Caracappa.
