>>But in 1976 Governor Dukakis vetoed a bill to ban furloughs for first-degree murderers<< ...sorry, not quite true; what Duke vetoed was a combined bill that would have banned the furlough of non-lifers. Not lifers as I believe Horton was. I believe, at that time, a 1st degree murder would fetch you a typical life sentence, however, once in awhile a non-life with chance of parole (after 20 years+) could be applied. since then and during Dukes tenure the laws became tougher. 1st degree is now automatic life with NO chance for parole (however it is slightly harder to get a 1st degree prosecution then before.) > need more then one science/civilian witness per case -- something like that? -JH
