Former FBI agent Lindley DeVecchio leaves court on Monday. Lindley DeVecchio, who had denied the charges for years, heard the news in a Brooklyn courtroom one day after a key government witness, mob moll Linda Schiro, had her testimony undermined by a taped interview she gave to reporters a decade ago. As DeVecchio stood in the courthouse well after the judge granted prosecutors' request to drop the charges, applause filled the courtroom -- much of it from former FBI agents who worked side by side with him. Schiro testified earlier this week that DeVecchio had fed her gangster boyfriend, Gregory Scarpa, secret FBI intelligence that was then used to kill four suspected rats or rivals in the Colombo crime family. But this week, journalist Tom Robbins revealed in the Village Voice that Shiro had provided him with a different account during a 1997 interview."
