First, a brief on the Capano case: In a saga that captivated Delaware residents for years, Capano, a wealthy and well-connected former state prosecutor, was accused of killing a former lover, Anne Marie Fahey, who was a secretary for the governor. Capano initially denied any involvement in the 1996 incident; but in a 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...
...Europe when Judge Susan Webber Wright ruled that the Paula Jones team could question other women--so the ruling could not have triggered his meeting earlier that day to help Monica find a job. And Ruff offered the first of the week's rhetorical body blows. The former Watergate prosecutor, hunched in his wheelchair, took his case to the same battleground on which Henry Hyde had planted his flag the week before...

Now 48, Hutchinson was a student at the University of Arkansas law school when Clinton taught there in the 1970s, though he never took a class with Clinton. Hutchinson went on to become a prosecutor, and in 1984, as a U.S. Attorney, he brought a cocaine-distributing charge against Roger Clinton, the Governor's wayward half-brother. Roger pleaded guilty, and at the sentencing, Governor Clinton thanked Hutchinson for helping save Roger's life...
...other Clinton brother is on trial, and the prosecutor who made the most effective case against him last week was Hutchinson. Using a pointer and charts as props, he took all the familiar, disparate facts of the case and reassembled them into a coherent, sinister whole. As he went along, Hutchinson punctured a few holes in the Clinton defense. For example, the President's lawyers maintain that Clinton's leading questions to Betty Currie on the day after his deposition in the Paula Jones case could not have been witness tampering because Currie had not been called as a witness...
