'Sopranos' Actor In Court Again

NEW YORK (AP) ― An actor who's pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the killing of an off-duty New York City police officer last December is due in court Thursday.

Lillo Brancato Jr. is scheduled to appear at state Supreme Court in the Bronx. Steven Armento, the alleged triggerman and accomplice in a botched burglary, also is scheduled to appear.

Brancato played an aspiring mobster on the cable television show "The Sopranos."

Authorities say the men told police that they had been together at a strip club before deciding to break into a Bronx apartment in search of prescription drugs. Officer Daniel Enchautegui, who lived next door, confronted them in an alley.

Prosecutors have said Brancato admitted that Armento opened fire after Enchautegui identified himself as a police officer and ordered them to freeze.
