Re: Support for DeeDee’s Law – Ending Murder Profits & Protecting Victims’ Names
Dear [Lawmaker’s Name],
I am writing to you as a concerned constituent to urge your support for legislation modeled after DeeDee’s Law – a vital measure that would prevent convicted criminals, and those who assist them, from financially profiting off the publicity of their crimes, while also protecting the names and legacies of victims from defamation.
Current laws, including existing “Son of Sam” statutes, are not strong enough to address modern profit streams such as streaming deals, book sales, influencer partnerships, and social media monetization. In many states, loopholes still allow convicted killers to benefit financially or gain notoriety while families of the victims are retraumatized.
DeeDee’s Law closes these loopholes by:
- Prohibiting convicted criminals and their associates from receiving direct or indirect profit from the sale, licensing, or distribution of media related to their crimes.
- Extending protections to posthumous victims, ensuring their names and reputations cannot be exploited for financial gain or public spectacle.
- Creating enforceable penalties for violations, including restitution to victims’ families.
This legislation is not about silencing speech – it is about protecting victims, upholding the dignity of the deceased, and ensuring that crime never becomes a business model.
I respectfully ask that you champion DeeDee’s Law in our state legislature and work with advocacy groups, victims’ families, and legal experts to bring this urgently needed protection into law.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
