The controversial Revictimization Relief Act

Guests: Rep. Mike Vereb, Sara Rose

In reaction to the commencement speech by convicted murderer Mumia Abu-Jamal at Vermont’s Goddard College, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett has signed into law the Revictimization Relief Act. The law is intended to prevent persons convicted of a crime from engaging in activities that further the “mental anguish” of the victim. We’ll hear from the state representative who introduced the bill, MIKE VEREB of Pennsylvania’s 150^th District. We’ll also be joined by SARA ROSE, a staff attorney for the ACLU of Pennsylvania who is working to repeal the law.
