Thomas J. Capano leaves the courthouse in chains, sentenced to die for killing Anne Marie Fahey. He was convicted in January. With those and similar comments, Superior Court Judge William Swain Lee yesterday sentenced Thomas J. Capano, a wealthy and once politically powerful lawyer, to death for the June 1996 murder of Anne Marie Fahey, his onetime secret lover. Members of the Capano family declined to comment. Capano, a former state prosecutor, city solicitor, and counsel to a governor, was convicted in January following a highly publicized and often sensational 12-week trial that included testimony about his own promiscuity, his numerous extramarital affairs, and his obsessive and controlling nature.
