Abstract:
Alabama’s Community Notification Act is arbitrarily broad, because its practical effect is to create a conclusive presumption that there are no circumstances under which it might be appropriate for a convicted sex offender to interact with his victim. This column discusses the background of the case resulting in this conclusion: L.N. v. State, __ So.2d__, 2002 WL 31399425 (Ala. Crim. App. 2002).Keywords: blanket residency restriction must give way to [J.]’s constitutionally protected right to marry
