Beneath the surface of the federal trial of Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa is a cautionary tale about the entertainment age. After leaving the police force in the early 1990's, Louis Eppolito went to act in films and write scripts in Las Vegas, where years later he was charged with his former partner, Mr. Caracappa, 64, in a federal narcotics case. Mr. Cutler was sparring with a government witness, one Alphonse D'Arco, former acting boss of the Luchese family, whom the government had called to establish that Mr. Eppolito and Mr. Caracappa had had a long relationship with another mobster, Anthony Casso, the Luchese family underboss.
