...plot twist worthy of a TV movie, he changed his story at the trial, claiming he was present as another of his ex-lovers killed Fahey. He then stuffed Fahey's body in a cooler, he claimed, and dumped it in the Atlantic to protect the other former mistress. After prosecutors mocked the story and family members testified against him, Capano was convicted of the murder. Last week, jurors voted 10-2 to put Capano to death...
...century court painter was expected to turn out anything and everything, from ceremonial portraits to painted coach panels, from large allegorical paintings to banners for tourneys, costumes for masques, sets for the theater (which Alfonso delighted in) and perhaps the occasional crucifix or emblem of chastity for the ducal mistress's bedroom. Dosso had to second-guess the veering tastes of his boss--flatter him, keep him interested. And then there were the courtiers to deal with...
...witness stand that he disposed of Fahey's body by stuffing it into a 3-ft. Styrofoam cooler, and then, with the help of his brother, dumped it at sea. (The cooler was later found by fishermen.)

Capano in turn seemed to have no remorse over his admission of numerous liaisons throughout his marriage, and he left behind a trail of graphic love letters as evidence. "Dear Slutty Little Girl" began a letter to one of what came to seem like a platoon of girlfriends...
...I.R.A. (to him, just more authority to affront), he was equally capable of cheekily parking on a police-station bench all night to give himself an alibi, or of crucifying a suspected informer on a pool table. Happily married, he kept his wife's sister as a mistress and sired children with both women. In this admittedly fictionalized retelling, his other reliable relationship is with an implacably pursuing detective (superbly underplayed by Jon Voight) who hates himself for succumbing to a psychopath's irresistible charm...
