Above the Law

He sent her to a watery grave

On July 28, 1996 a body slips beneath the calm surface of the Atlantic Ocean. One perfect, manicured foot is the last sign anyone will see of the victim -- the once beautiful, vivacious, innocent Anne Marie Fahey. His tracks covered, her killer defied police and prosecutors for months...until they charged him with murder.

HE LIVED A SHOCKING DOUBLE LIFE

Thomas Capano was the scion of a wealthy Wilmington, Delaware family, a powerful lawyer and former state prosecutor who served as confidant to a mayor, congressman and governor. But Capano's highly respected facade hid a homicidal monster -- one Anne Marie fell victim to the night she tried to break off their turbulent two-year relationship.

UNTIL THE TRUTH FINALLY CAME OUT

At his sensational trial, a stunned public heard dark tales of Capano's explosive temper and twisted obsessions, of his dozens of extramarital affairs and kinky sexual encounters, of the hit men he tried to hire and the brothers he turned on. And they would also hear devastating details about some of Wilmington's most prominent citizens, exposing a horbed of lies, corruption and depravity that destroyed lives and left the city reeling.

ABOVE THE LAW takes you inside one of the most scandalous cases in recent crime history and inside the world of a murderous thug in a three piece suit who thought he didn't have to live by the rules...and will instead, die by lethal injection.
