By agreement between the candidates, the first question goes to gov. Dukakis. You have two minutes to respond. Governor, if Kitty Dukakis were raped and murdered, would you favor an irrevocable Death Penalty for he killer . No, i dont, bernard. And i think you know that ive opposed the Death Penalty during all of my life.
