Sodomy in history,
April 5
April 5
1923 — Delaware prohibits probation for sodomy.
1939 — Massachusetts requires notice to police whenever someone convicted of sodomy is released from prison.
1961 — The Ohio Supreme Court upholds the sodomy conviction of a man based entirely on "unusual circumstances" occurring near his home and "strange conduct" of the defendant. The dissenters say that they "do not recall reviewing a record more replete with prejudicial error" and that they "cannot find any evidence of acts even related to the charge in the indictment."
1995 — Arizona Governor Fife Symington vetoes a bill to exempt misdemeanant sex offenders (such as those convicted of consensual sodomy) from DNA testing.
