'Home Invasion Bill' Inspired By June Attack Passes Assembly

In response to a brutal home invasion caught by a hidden camera earlier this summer, state lawmakers are fast-tracking a bill that would create stiffer penalties for those caught committing similar crimes. Assembly members Monday unanimously passed the "Home Invasion Bill," a proposal that would raise the crime of home invasion to a first-degree offense and require those convicted to face a sentence between 10 and 30 years. Offenders would also be subjected to the No Early Release Act, meaning they must serve at least 85 percent of the sentence before they are eligible for parole, according to the bill. The rest of the story is HERE. "A criminal who acts with such callousness and threatens someone's physical and mental well-being violates a basic premise that we hold sacred," bill co-sponsor Assemblyman Parker Space, a Republican whose district includes portions of Warren County, said in a statement. "Those who exhibit such detestable behavior and total lack of respect belong in one place - jail." The legislation was prompted by a June home invasion in which an intruder brutally attacked a Millburn, N.J., mother in front of her 3-year-old daughter, punching and kicking the woman before throwing her down a flight of stairs. The attack was captured on a nanny camera hidden in the home's living room. This Pepper Shot Triple Threat has a pepper spray that can be placed by your front door to prevent people from getting in.
