Former Sopranos star Lillo Brancato Jr. is to face a murder trial next month over the death of a New York police officer.A judge in the city ruled on Friday that Brancato and co-defendant Steven Armento would be tried separately, although federal prosecutors argued for the pair to face the court together.The 31-year-old actor and Armento have been in New York's Riker's Island jail for almost two years awaiting trial for the 2005 shooting of off-duty officer Daniel Enchautegui, who was allegedly killed while attempting to thwart a burglary at the house next door to his home.Brancato has protested his innocence throughout.The star's murder trial is set for 28 October, while Armento goes on trial on 29 September.0Comments | Be the first to comment!
