Revere man gets second-degree murder for killing cop

A Suffolk County Superior Court jury today convicted Robert Iacoviello, Jr, of second-degree murder for the death of Revere Police Officer Daniel Talbot on Sept. 27, 2007, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

James Heang was also convicted, as an accessory after the fact to murder, the DA's office says. Both will be sentenced on Friday.

Two other people pleaded guilty last year to being accessories after the fact in the case, in which a group of gang members had a confrontation with off-duty police officers who were drinking beer behind Revere High School. Thinking the cops were rival gang members, Iacoviello fired twice, hitting Talbot in the head.
