Jillian Ludwig's family pushes NJ to adopt law protecting public from violent offenders deemed incompetent
Jillian Ludwig's family is advocating for New Jersey to adopt legislation similar to Tennessee's 'Jillian's Law,' which would require institutional commitment for violent offenders deemed incompetent to stand trial. The law targets individuals charged with violent crimes like murder or aggravated assault, following Jillian's death from a stray bullet in 2023.
