In Part III of Bunker in Bibb, Dave and Steve sit down with Alabama State Representative, Matt Simpson who proposed legislation that would allow the death penalty in cases involving the sexual abuse of children under the age of 12.
Representative Simpson discusses his background as a prosecutor, what motivated the proposed bill, and how lawmakers think through penalty structures, constitutional precedent, and public safety concerns. The conversation also addresses difficult but necessary topics, including victim reporting, family-related abuse, prosecutorial discretion, and how collaboration across disciplines can better protect the most vulnerable.
Drawing from their experience as detectives, Dave and Steve explore how legislation intersects with real-world investigations, prosecutions, and community resources. The discussion covers investigative realities, funding challenges, training needs, digital forensics, and policy decisions.
