Crimes and offenses; manslaughter; further provided to include certain victims of sexual extortion

Summary

The bill expands Alabama's manslaughter definition to include cases where a person sexually extorts someone under 18 and the victim dies. It makes that conduct a Class A felony, while other manslaughter offenses stay a Class B felony. The change also treats a victim's suicide as a foreseeable result of the extortion, not an independent cause.
