Tom Capano and the Law
Once so close...now so far
I'm guessing that only about two or three readers will know who Tom Capano is...but one of the bonuses of reading this is that we give the reader both national news and delaware news (when something actually happens here). Anyway, Tom Capano was a prominent lawyer in the First State. Then he slept with his secretary, then she dumped him, then he dumped her in a very different way. Needless to say, Tom Capano spends his days on death row trying to figure out how to get the hell out of there. And unlike many others on death row, he has the training to find a loophole in the system. There is hope for you Tom Capano!
however, there is no hope when white women are dead. Capano and his legal team believe he can get off of death row by claiming delaware's death penalty is unconstitutional. swing and miss, strike one. They are claiming that because only eleven of twelve jurors thought the murder he committed was premeditated or the result of substantial planning. The amount of idiots in a jury is about 4 or 5 out of the 12, and that's if you're really lucky. So i get the feeling that 11 out of 12 people agreeing on anything after the verdict is substantial. Anyway, i checked up on the US and the Delaware state constitutions, just to see if i could find anything that would even vaguely side with Capano...nothing of the sort.
I really thought this would be funnier, but it's just kind of sad to see a guy grasping at straws to save his own life.
