Thanks. You do good work.

• Alabama HB49: Would require any person age 18 or older convicted of rape in the first degree or sodomy in the first degree of a victim less than age six to be sentenced to death or life without parole. If the person convicted is less than age 18 then they would be sentenced to either life without parole or life. (Was advancing but was not passed before the end of session)

The death penalty was abolished in Virginia in 2021, so if Virginia were to pass such a law, it would first have to reinstate procedures for the death penalty, which (hailing from Virginia) I believe is highly unlikely given the current political climate there.
