The new law, sponsored by state Sen. Elaine Phillips (R - Long Island), the list
of serious offenses will include
misdemeanor assault, harassment and other crimes if the
perpetrator is in the same family or household as the victim.
It turns out that this is a crime movie after all, or at least a film
of multiple
misdemeanors and bald - faced misrepresentation, and the
perpetrators are the good guys.
