The attorney general and most of the state’s prosecutors are in favor of changes that would make it easier to prosecute sex crimes.  But civil rights advocates have reservations about the proposal, and other critics say it should include mandatory minimum sentences. VPR’S Bob Kinzel talks with Attorney General Bill Sorrell and Bennington County State’s Attorney Erica Marthage about why they support these reforms, and he speaks with Allen Gilbert of the Vermont ACLU about his concerns.
