ABC: Pelosi lays out case for innocence

Manorville electrician, Daniel Pelosi -- serving 25 years to life for second degree murder in the slaying of East Hamptons financier Ted Ammon -- lays out in some detail tonight why he is innocent on the ABC News' special, "Revenege for Real."  (WABC/7, 10). ABC has released a partial transcript of the interview with Pelosi. Cynthia McFadden anchors and reports this piece, and indicated to me yesterday that she's fairly sceptical of this tale. Meanwhile, a central figure in Pelosi's story is his old friend Chris Parrino, who he claims was behind the murder (see below.) 

  In 2066, Parrino got a six-month sentence for obstructing prosecution of Pelosi. Here's the top of Newsday's story at the time: 

 "After numerous indictments, arrests, guilty pleas and convictions, the murder of East Hampton financier Theodore Ammon may have been addressed for a final time in a Riverhead courtroom yesterday as a Moriches man was sentenced to six months in jail for hindering the prosecution of his friend, Daniel Pelosi. Christopher Parrino, 37, confessed in January to driving with Pelosi to Ammon's East Hampton mansion on the night in October 2001 that Ammon was killed. Parrinosaid Pelosi went inside the home, then came out "disheveled," carrying a bloody bag, and told Parrino, "I had a fight with Ted. And I think he's dead."
