Norman Veasey SUPREME COURT OF DELAWARE E. NORMAN VEASEY CHIEF JUSTICE December 1999 To Governor Thomas R. Carper, Members of the General Assembly, and Citizens of the State of Delaware: It is my honor to present the 1999 Annual Report of the Delaware Judiciary. Because of the excellent relationships among the exe cutive, legislative, and judicial branches of government, and the hard work of judges and court staff at every level, there have been major accomplishments in the past fiscal year. More cases than ever before have been presented to the judicial branch in fiscal year 1999, and more work has been completed than in any prior year. This continuous growth in workload—not only in the sheer number of cases, but also in their complexity—has been a challenge to the dedicated and energetic judicial officers and staff of our state. They deserve our thanks and praise for their unceasing efforts to administer justice to all of the citizens of Delaware. Perhaps fiscal year 1999 will be best remembered for two very important accomplishments: (1) the General Assembly and Governor provided much of the funding needed to build the New Castle County Courthouse (which is currently under construction) as well as for acquisition and improvements of court facilities in Kent and Sussex Counties; and (2) the creation of new judgeships for the Family Court and Court of Common Pleas in Kent and Sussex Counties. I want to express my thanks to the Governor, the members of the General Assembly and the judiciary for their tireless dedication to justice this past year. The quality of life for citizens of Delaware, as well as our national reputation, will grow as we continue to strive for excellence and increase our efforts to build public trust and confidence in the judicial system. Respectfully, E.

  • IN the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT for the DISTRICT of DELAWARE THOMAS J. CAPANO : CIVIL ACTION : V
    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.

  • Utilizing Dignity Rights to Further Tribal Prerogatives: the Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware
    Utilizing Dignity Rights to Further Tribal Prerogatives: The Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware Dean Roland Dignity Rights Practicum Delaware Law Spring 2017 Professors Daly & May For the Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware QUESTION PRESENTED What new rights or benefits does the recent state recognition of the Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware (the “Lenape”) bestow upon the Lenape and how can the recent recognition of dignity rights in American jurisprudence help further tribal prerogatives? BRIEF ANSWER State recognition of the Lenape has limited benefits such as access to federal and state funding, qualifying as an Indian Tribe under various statutes, and a recognition of the Lenape’s inherent dignity and longstanding presence within a state. Courts around the world along with local and national governments have found an inherent or implied right to dignity within the right to life and liberty. The Delaware Constitution expressly acknowledges a right to life and liberty. The right to dignity, which is implied in the Delaware Constitution, fills the gaps that state recognition fails to address. This paper will analyze how dignity can be used as a means of seeking redress for an infringed upon right to better the Lenape’s way of life. INTRODUCTION The Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware (the “Lenape”) resided in the coastal regions of Delaware and Pennsylvania for hundreds of years before European contact. The tribe, along with the other tribes of the present day United States, lived their lives free with dignity to move freely over the land and use the resources that the earth provided them. European contact had a profound impact on the Native’s way of life, not only individuals, but as a distinct group.

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.

DICKINSON LAW REVIEW VOL. 56 THE SUPREME COURT OF DELAWARE, 1900-1952 By PAUL DOLAN* On May 14, 1951, the Delaware General Assembly, by amending the state's constitution,1 created a supreme court composed of justices who only sat in that court. Between 1897 and 1951 the Supreme Court of Delaware consisted of those state judges who had not heard the case below. Thus Delaware was said to use the "left-over judge" system in its final appellate jurisdiction. 2 Since the above-mention- ed amendment the supreme court is manned by three justices appointed by the governor and confirmed by the state senate. These judges are not permitted to serve in the inferior courts. To establish a tribunal of final appeal with personnel unattached to the trial courts was not easy in Delaware. The opposition to this change was obdurate and continuous. It was based primarily on the fact that any change contemplated in governmental arrangements in the state is met with deep suspicion by many seg- ments of the population.
