The Issue

The Russo and Flangan families have endured heart-wrenching pain ever since they lost their loved ones at the hands of a killer who continues to exploit the system. While mourning their tragic losses, they are forced to witness the perpetrator gaining clout and online presence, enjoying a life of misleading fame while their sons struggle to find peace.

Innocent families should not have to relive their trauma every time the perpetrator gains media attention or profits from their notorious acts. This is why we need to rally support for 'Doms Law,’ a proposed legislation to prohibit convicted criminals from benefiting financially from their crimes. The law would ensure that social media accounts of offenders are deleted or strictly monitored by law enforcement, preventing them from further exploiting the families of their victims.

Studies show that murderers often gain celebrity status, leading to book deals, interviews, and a media presence that re-traumatizes victims' families and glorifies violent acts. By passing 'Doms Law,' we protect the memory and dignity of the victims and prevent criminals from gaining undue fame and profit. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, repeat offenders have a high recidivism rate, often using social media platforms to gain sympathetic followings, which is why monitoring these accounts is critical for public safety.

We urge members of Congress to take immediate action to implement 'Doms Law.' This law is essential for safeguarding victims' families and ensuring justice extends beyond the courtroom. The bill represents a necessary step to align with existing laws that prevent unjust enrichment from criminal acts, as seen in similar jurisdictions.

Sign this petition to stand with the Russo and Flangan families in demanding justice and promoting a safer, more respectful society. Your voice can make a significant difference in the lives of many and ensure no family has to bear the burden of seeing a murderer profit from their pain again. Demand action; sign today and support 'Doms Law' for a change that truly matters.
