Sister of Murdered Man Tries to Change Washington State Law

A Seattle woman recently learned that her brother was killed by his wife, and that his adult stepchildren helped their mother load the body into the trunk of a car and roll it into a ditch. The mother was given 27 years in prison for murder, but the two children were allowed to walk free, thanks to a Washington law that gives pardon to those who give criminal assistance to a family member. The sister is trying to get the law changed and renamed “Randy’s Law” after her slaughtered brother. She is outraged that the accessories to the murder were not sent to prison with their mother, and believes that only children under the age of 18 should receive such leniency from the state.
