New York, NY - Bail Denied For Mafia Cops Who Killed Jewish Jeweler

New York, NY - A pair of NYPD detectives, bidding for freedom just weeks after their convictions for facilitating eight mob murders, were overturned, were instead sent back to prison Tuesday.

Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, denounced after their April convictions as the most corrupt cops in city history and their involvement in the killing of the Jewish jeweler Israel Greenwald, had their bail petitions denied by the same federal judge who had overturned their convictions last month.

"The defendants are dangerous criminals with no degree of credibility," ruled U.S. District Court Judge Jack B. Weinstein. The two ex-detectives sat stoically as the judge handed down his decision.
