14 Indicted In Old Mob Murders (April 25, 2005)
(4/25/2005)
In it's final days, the Family Secrets mob trial is closing with a bang.
Defendant Anthony Doyle Thursday was accused of being the mob's inside man at the Chicago police department.
As CBS 2's John Drummond reports, the remark provoked a fiery exchange.
The 62-year-old Doyle, known as "Twan," spent 20 years on the force before retiring to Arizona. His last assignment was the department's evidentiary room.
Now prosecutors contend co-defendant Frank Calabrese had asked Doyle to find out if evidence in the 1986 murder of "Big John" Fecarotta had been turned over the to FBI.
Doyle had made several visits to the federal prison in Milan, Mich. where Calabrese was incarcerated.
In this visit, Doyle sat on the right of Calabrese who spoke in code to confuse federal eavesdroppers.
"Did you have access to the glove in the Fecarotta homicide?" asked attorney Ralph Meczyk.
Doyle said, "No sir."
"Would you have stolen it if you had access?" asked Meczyk.
"No sir," said Doyle.
Meczyk asked, "Why?"
Doyle responded, "I would not do that...stealing evidence...no way."
Doyle said he had humored Calabrese and that he, Doyle, was confused by terms like sister, scarpe grande and the doctor.
"I haven't seen the man in twenty years," said Doyle. "Now he's talking all this mumbo-jumbo."
The government argues Doyle not only knew the lingo but brought back messages to Calabrese's minions.
Thursday afternoon the gloves came off during a fiery exchange about the Fecarotta murder.
Prosecutor Marcus Funk asked Doyle, "You thought it was okay to give an outfit racketeer information about an outfit murder?"
"I had no idea it was an outfit murder," said Doyle.
Funk shot back, "What Doyle did was a serious breach of police integrity."
Doyle retorted, "For the tenth time, I had no idea it was a homicide investigation."
