    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE THOMAS J. CAPANO : CIVIL ACTION : v. : : THOMAS L. CARROLL, et al. : NO. 06-58 MEMORANDUM Bartle, C.J. April 15, 2008 Before the court is the petition of Thomas J. Capano for habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. He alleges that he is in state custody in violation of the Constitution of the United States. Capano, a prominent Delaware lawyer, was convicted in the Superior Court in and for New Castle County of murder in the first degree of Anne Marie Fahey, the scheduling secretary of the State's then-Governor, Thomas R. Carper. Judge William Swain Lee sentenced Capano to death upon recommendation of the jury. State v. Capano, Cr.A. No. 97-11-0720, 1999 Del. Super. LEXIS 541 (Del. Super. Ct. Mar. 16, 1999). The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed on direct appeal, and the United States Supreme Court denied Capano's petition for a writ of certiorari. Capano v. State, 781 A.2d 556 (Del. 2001), cert. denied, Capano v. Delaware, 536 U.S. 958 (2002). In a subsequent post-conviction proceeding, the state Supreme Court overturned his death sentence and remanded for a new penalty trial. Capano v. State, 889 A.2d 968 (Del. 2006). When the State elected not to proceed with that second trial, Capano was resentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. I. Anne Marie Fahey, age 30, was last seen in public on Thursday evening, June 27, 1996, while dining at a Philadelphia restaurant with Capano, age 46, who was then separated from his wife Kay.

    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE THOMAS J. CAPANO, No. 110/149, 1999 Defendant Below, Court Below: Superior Court Appellant, of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County v. Cr. A. No. IN97-11-0720 STATE OF DELAWARE, Cr. ID No. 9711006198 Plaintiff Below, Appellee. Submitted: March 3, 2000 Decided: March 17, 2000 Before VEASEY, Chief Justice, WALSH, HOLLAND and HARTNETT, Justices, and CHANDLER, Chancellor,1 constituting the Court en Banc. Upon Motion for Limited Remand of Proceedings to Enlarge the Record on Appeal. DECISION ON MOTION DEFERRED PENDING BRIEFING. 1 Designated pursuant to Art. IV, § 12, of the Delaware Constitution and Supreme Court Rules 2 and 4. Joseph M. Bernstein, Esquire, Wilmington, Delaware, Attorney for Appellant. Ferris W. Wharton, Esquire, State Prosecutor, and Loren C. Meyers, Esquire, Chief of Appeals Division, Department of Justice, Wilmington, Delaware, Attorneys for Appellee. VEASEY, Chief Justice, for the majority: Before this Court is a procedural motion in an appeal pending in a death penalty case. The motion by the defendant-appellant, Thomas J. Capano, is for a limited remand of proceedings to enlarge the record on appeal. The basis of the motion is the contention that an immediate evidentiary hearing is needed for this Court to determine whether the conduct of the trial and subsequent death sentence “may have been consciously or unconsciously influenced by a motive or desire by [Judge William Swain Lee, the trial and sentencing judge] to enhance his image for political purposes through trial publicity.” Although the Court declines an immediate remand, the Court’s final decision on the merits of the issues raised by the motion is deferred pending full briefing in accordance with this Opinion.
