Stricter anti stalking law eyed by lawmakers
SHAKER HEIGHTS UP Two lawmakers propose a stricter anti stalking law after a student was killed en route to high school. The bill would let judges choose misdemeanor or felony handling for stalking cases, raise maximum penalties to 18 months for felonies and set a six month minimum, and allow parents to press stalking charges when the victim is under 18. Felony convictions would incur stricter probation requirements.
