Montgomery, AL – Attorney General Troy King says he wants tougher laws against sexual predators. He says sex offenders who are convicted in extreme cases should be subject to the death penalty. It's one of three proposals he plans to submit to the Alabama Legislature early next year. King also says he'll seek other changes, including allowing sex abuse victims to testify by way of closed circuit video. Another proposal would amend a state law that would bar sex offenders from living or working within two-thousand feet of a Y-M-C-A branch and Boys and Girls Clubs. Alabama law already bars convicted predators from living near schools or childcare centers.
