Capozzi Escape Questioned
KENTUCKY...
The escape of federal inmate 37 year old Derek A. Capozzi continues to baffle
authorities investigating how the convict could have removed his shackles and leapt from a van's back door that could be unlocked only from the outside. Capozzi was in Kentucky to testify as a defense witness in a federal trial involving Christopher Cramer, who was accused last year of assaulting another inmate at the McCreary federal prison in Pine Knot. Police say Capozzi has ties to a Massachusetts drug gang and was convicted by a federal jury in 2005 of helping to cover up the killing of a 19-year-old Massachusetts woman.
