It's amazing how Louie Eppolito was able to become a cop, and later a dective coming from such up a "mobbed" up family, his father was a soldier too. Louie Eppolito must have some great stories, and he fancied himself as a screen writer before he was convicted, so he could probably make a fascianting book on himself, but I think he is too delusional in his "innocent" act to ever be truthful.


Yes, obviously the cops were a bit carefree about who they recruited back in the day!
