birdwatcherNew York is poised to join more than a dozen states that continue to detain sex offenders after they have finished serving their prison sentences. The new legislation will call for having mental health experts identify sex offenders in prison who they believe pose a risk of committing new crimes upon their release, several state officials who were briefed on the agreement said. Those offenders would be tried before a jury, and if the jury decided that they posed a threat, a judge would sentence them to further confinement or would release them under strict supervision.
“I think we are in agreement or very, very close to agreement,” State Senator Joseph L. Bruno, the Republican majority leader, said Wednesday afternoon. “And that, again, is a tremendous result on behalf of the people of this state.” Governor Spitzer, a Democrat who campaigned in support of such legislation, helped persuade the Assembly to reach an agreement, several officials said.
