Alabama passes bill allowing death penalty for child rape, sodomy, or torture of children under 12.
The Alabama House has passed House Bill 41, allowing the death penalty for rape, sodomy, or sexual torture of a child under 12.
Sponsored by Rep. Matt Simpson, the bill aims to deter severe child sex crimes.
Opponents questioned its constitutionality, citing Supreme Court limits on the death penalty to murder cases, and warned victim participation in sentencing could deter reporting, especially in family abuse cases.
An amendment to substitute life without parole was rejected.
The bill now moves to the Senate.
