Eppolittos excuse was that the file found was a copy and his prints weren't on the actual file but from a photo copy of the file, which is ludicrous if you know about fingerprints. Apparently the finger print expert didn't show up or wasnt called so the commish dismissed the case. No telling who all he gave info to before Casso. Gravano
said he looked the other way in the Fiala hit for a few grand. Miciotta claimed he said he had nothing to worry about in the champagne hit. Only after he hooked up with Burt Kaplan did Casso instruct the cops to give info to the Lucchese Family ONLY for a 4 grand a month pad, plus bonuses for extra jobs.
