A federal jury in New York has found alleged former Bonanno crime family captain Vincent Asaro not guilty of one count of racketeering conspiracy and two extortion-related counts.
Asaro, 80, was accused in connection with the 1978 Lufthansa heist at JFK International Airport that inspired part of the plot of the 1990 film "Goodfellas."
The trial began October 19 and involved more than 70 witnesses, most of them for the prosecution. Ref. CNN
