Wow, this guy is something. I'll bet old Debbie McIntyre will regret this
affair more than she even did previously. Wonder how much MONEY this creep
will cause her to spend also...

Convicted Prosecutor Sues Mistress

from The Associated Press

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - A former state prosecutor is suing his onetime
mistress, claiming she is responsible for the death of another lover whom he
was convicted of murdering.

Thomas Capano and his family, which controls a development business worth tens
of millions of dollars, face a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of
Anne Marie Fahey.

Capano was convicted in January 1999 and sentenced to death for the murder of
Fahey. The 30-year-old scheduling secretary for Gov. Tom Carper vanished in
June 1996; her body has never been found.

Prosecutors said Capano shot Fahey when she tried to end their affair, then
stuffed her body in a cooler and dumped it in the Atlantic Ocean.

At his trial, Capano claimed another lover, Deborah MacIntyre, accidentally
shot Fahey in a jealous rage. He said he disposed of Fahey's body to protect
MacIntyre.

Capano filed his own suit last week against MacIntyre, blaming her for Fahey's
death.

MacIntyre has denied shooting Ms. Fahey.

``When she gets served, we'll prepare an appropriate response,'' said Richard
R. Wier Jr., MacIntyre's attorney.

I'm dumbfounded. Mostly because this wasn't in this morning's Inquirer,
or if it was, I *gulp* missed it.

Deborah MacIntyre was so reviled during Capano's trial, both by Capano
family members talking to the press and by witnesses testifying to
things the Capanos had said about her.

There is, though, that neighbor's testimony that she saw MacIntyre come
home one night, sobbing. It's possible, I think, that MacIntyre is a
little more involved than we think--she did, after all, buy the gun for
him. She says he told her he wanted the gun to threaten someone who was
trying to extort him--how likely a story is that? I don't know.

Martha, glad she's not Deborah MacIntyre

What night was it that she came home sobbing? Was it thought to possibly be
the night of the murder?

Yeah, she did buy the gun, but... think about how odd and manipulative he was
about everything. I could believe SHE might have been willing to believe
anything he told her. Then again, with this story, I could believe almost
anything.

You don't really think she WAS there for the murder, do you?

Well, that's the problem. The neighbor doesn't know for sure what night
it was. I doubt that the jury paid much attention to the testimony, but
for me it was memorable--I mean, I suspect that the neighbor's noticing
this behavior indicates that it was not usual for DM to come home late
and sob in her driveway, and it makes me wonder what caused it. Unless
the neighbor was dreaming.

Yes, he certainly is a manipulator, but think about all the things she
*did* do for him, things she didn't want to do and was humiliated about
testifying to--sex with his friends, for instance, so he could
watch--and I just wonder if she knew he was going to kill AMF and use
her as the "killer" so neither of them would go to jail? I mean, he did
make the story sound like DM had come to his house to kill herself, and
when he wrestled with her to get the gun away, it discharged, killing
AMF by accident--reminds me of the Scarsdale doctor and Jean
Whatshername. Maybe she was in on this and then backed out after he was
arrested? I just don't know.

No. But I think it's possible that she knew about his plans, and maybe,
at some point, allowed him to believe that she would go along with his
story.

I remember this story as also involving the prosecutor/convicted murderer
guy, Capano, involving his brother and going out on a boat to get rid of the
cooler, then shooting holes in the cooler when it wouldn't sink (pretty
grisly, and not I don't think that actions of someone covering up for someone
else). That is, if this is the same case.

Perhaps my memory fails me but didn't the prosecution prove that the neighbor
couldn't have witnessed what she said because of a driveway light that was burned
out? Also I believe the neighbor refused to let anyone into her bedroom to look
out the window she claims that she saw this scene from? I think she lost
credibility with the jury.
