Derb, I take your point about the emotionalization of law, but Sharon Rocha and the others were instrumental in getting this law passed. And, frankly, Laci and Conner Peterson were. Theoretically, is this a great trend? Maybe not, in the history of legislation and law. However, these women and their murdered loved ones are the reason the bill got signed. And, I don’t think the law would have passed without the moniker. So I’m cool with it. This wasn’t photo-op-tear time, this was real.
