Ky. Lawmakers Hear Amanda Bill
KENTUCKY....
Speaking before the House Judiciary Committee, Diana Ross, the mother of slain 29 year old Amanda Ross, called Thursday for passage of a bill that would allow judges to order people named in domestic violence orders to wear ankle monitors. Ross says the Amanda Bill is needed because existing state laws and the court system failed to protect her daughter who was fatally shot last September 11th. Committee members unanimously approved the measure, putting it on the fast track for a floor vote tentatively planned for Tuesday.
