Calling All Scriptwriters!

Too many luscious details in this Daily News article about the arraignment of the mafia-dallying cops:

The daughter of reputed Mafia cop Louis Eppolito showed her heart belongs to daddy yesterday when she came out swinging in defense of her disgraced father.

After a routine arraignment of Eppolito and his ex-detective partner Stephen Caracappa – who are charged with soiling the badge by moonlighting and murdering for the mob – Andrea Eppolito blew a kiss to her haggard-looking dad.

He blew her one back, across the Brooklyn courtroom.

“Bye, Daddy, I love you,” said Andrea Eppolito, 28, her eyes wet with tears.

Then the voluptuous, raven-haired beauty – turning heads in a tan suit with plunging neckline – strode out of the courtroom, making a beeline for a bank of microphones outside Brooklyn Federal Court.

The rest of the article just gets better and better:

She launched into an emotional defense of her father who, with Caracappa, is charged with participating in at least eight gangland murders while on the payroll of the Luchese crime family for years.

“My father loved being a cop,” she said. “He was so proud of all the things he did while working for the city. He protected women. He protected children. He worked with the elderly.

“My dad made a vow to protect and serve the people of the city and did it very well,” she added.

“And now it’s time that somebody protect and serve him,” she said, referring to defense lawyer Bruce Cutler, who is best known for representing John Gotti.

“I’m very confident that when this is over, my father is coming home,” she said.

Cutler said the devoted daughter, who lives in Las Vegas and works in restaurant promotions, had asked him if she could tell the press how much she loved her father, and he approved.

“She flew out here to be near her father and brought his heart medication,” Cutler said. “Family support means the world to Lou.”

Protected women! Protected children! Works with the elderly! Family support! The same dapper attorneys who represented John Gotti! Even a Las Vegas connection!

The defiant parting blow:

Before heading back to Vegas, Andrea Eppolito had one last thing to say.

“My father is very, very strong,” she said. “My father is not a man who is weak.”
