On Crime: Opposes death penalty in all cases

In September, Capuano sought to highlight Coakley's evolution on the issue. Coakley previously favored the death penalty in two instances, including for those convicted of killing police officers, but about seven or eight years ago shifted her position because of concerns about wrongful convictions.

The other candidates in the Democratic race, City Year cofounder Alan Khazei and Boston Celtics co-owner Stephen G. Pagliuca, say they oppose the death penalty in all cases.
