Anthony Oddone, who was convicted of manslaughter stemming from a barroom brawl five years ago, won a chance to clear his name last week when the New York Court of Appeals overturned his conviction and ordered a new trial, thanks to Marc Wolinsky, his pro bono counsel from Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz (NYLJ, Dec. 13).
Wolinsky a few years ago crossed paths with Oddone, who had worked as a caddie at The Bridge in Bridgehampton, N.Y., an exclusive Hamptons golf club that reportedly costs close to $1 million to join. Wolinsky, a member of the club, said he heard from a “mutual friend” about a fight involving Oddone that left another man dead and Oddone facing murder and manslaughter charges.
