'Sopranos' actor cleared of murder in police death

Lillo Brancato, who played a bumbling aspiring mobster on "The Sopranos," was cleared Monday of second-degree murder in the shooting death of an off-duty policeman during a drunken, late-night search for drugs.

The jury convicted Brancato of a lesser charge of attempted burglary.
He faces from three to 15 years in prison; the former actor could get credit for time served because he has been behind bars nearly three years.
