Alabama HB41 establishes the death penalty for certain sexual offenses against children.
Alabama HB41, also known as the "Child Predator Death Penalty Act," amends the state's criminal code to classify rape in the first degree, sodomy in the first degree, and sexual torture as capital offenses when the victim is under a specified age. These offenses, which are already Class A felonies, now carry the potential death penalty under certain conditions. Additionally, individuals convicted of these crimes and sentenced to life imprisonment must serve a minimum number of years before being eligible for parole.
