Capobianco sentence: Life in prison with possibility of parole plus 10 years

WAILUKU – Convicted murderer Steven Capobianco was sentenced Friday to life in prison with the possibility of parole and an additional 10 years for killing his pregnant ex-girlfriend and setting fire to her vehicle.

In imposing the sentence, 2nd Circuit Judge Joseph Cardoza recommended that the Hawaii Paroling Authority set a minimum term of 70 years for Capobianco on the second-degree murder conviction and a minimum of 10 years for second-degree arson.

Capobianco, 27, is the last person known to have seen Carly “Charli” Scott alive.

He told police she drove him from Haiku to about 3 miles past Keanae the night of Feb. 9, 2014, after his truck had stalled there the night before.

At the time, 27-year-old Scott was in the fifth month of pregnancy with a son fathered by Capobianco.
