[daschnek]

[QUOTE](CNN) A federal jury in New York has reached a verdict in the case of Vincent Asaro, the alleged former Bonanno crime family captain who's on trial to face charges in a string of crimes over 40 years. Among them: murder, racketeering and the famed 1978 Lufthansa heist at JFK International Airport that helped inspire part of the plot in the 1990 film "Goodfellas."[/QUOTE]

This story is still developing, but so far he's been found not guilty of several charges.

Bonanno hood Vincent Asaro slammed his fist on the defense table and kissed his lawyer on the lips four times Thursday after a jury found him not guilty of pulling off the Lufthansa heist immortalized in the movie “Goodfellas.”
In another stunning blow to prosecutors, the panel also acquitted the 80-year-old gangster of helping another thug strangle a suspected [URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/lufthansa-trial-witness-asaro-upset-killed-dog-article-1.2414778"]snitch with a dog[/URL]chain back in 1969.

“Free!” a jubilant Asaro bellowed as he left Brooklyn Federal Court with his arms outstretched like Rocky Balboa. "John Gotti didn't get this much attention.”

Embracing defense attorneys Elizabeth Macedonio and Diane Ferrone, Asaro said he was “dying to get home.”

"I should never have gotten arrested,” he said, adding that he couldn’t wait to get to his daughter’s house for dinner and joked that he was going to play paddleball.[/QUOTE]
