I listen to the radio more than I watch TV and I just heard the news.
Brancato, who dodged the murder conviction given to his accomplice, Steven Armento, was sentenced by Bronx State Supreme Court Judge Martin Marcus to 10 years in prison for his role in the death of off-duty NYPD Officer Daniel Enchautegui in December 2005.

This leaves a bad taste. 10 years is better than nothing I guess.
According to the article, this actor can possibly be released in about 5 years. The maximum that the judge could have sentenced him to was 15 years. That would have been better; 10 years for being involved in a crime that lead to the killing an officer seems insufficient.
