ERICA'S LAW SB 1088

The Issue

People's bodies are being dumped everywhere in California and in the whole Country and is classified only as a MISDEMEANOR, we need to change that to a FELONY because is totally unfair that this type of criminals get only ONE year or less in jail and then set free as if they never committed a crime, somebody killed and dumped my daughter's body like that and that is making me react to seek JUSTICE FOR ERICA and prevent this from happening again, HELP US SAVE LIVES BY SUPPORTING THIS PROPOSITION NOW

“Thank you for your dedication to seeking justice for Erica Alonso! I stand with you! Erica was a Laguna Hills constituent who lived in the Senate district that I represent. Her death last year was tragic and disturbing, and her body did not deserve to be dumped. Unfortunately, body dumping is a crime punishable only by a misdemeanor. That is why I have co-authored Senate Bill 1088 with Senator Janet Nguyen to strengthen the penalty for body dumping if a judge believes the circumstances warrant it. Like any other bill, SB 1088 must go through a long legislative process if it is to become law. No matter how much a bill might make sense, success is not guaranteed. SB 1088 is currently pending in the Senate Public Safety Committee. I encourage you to go to http://spsf.senate.ca.gov to contact members of the committee to express your support. Working together, we can pass SB 1088 and ensure some measure of justice for Erica. Sincerely, PATRICIA C. BATES Senator, 36th District Website: www.senate.ca.gov/bates Twitter: www.twitter.com/senatorpatbates Facebook: www.facebook.com/senatorpatbates”
