Robin’s Law: In June 2004, Robin Shaffer was shot and killed by her estranged husband Jeffrey Ogle, who shortly after committed suicide. Now two years later, the Upper Bucks Borough council is meeting tonight and expected to urge Pennsylvania Legislators to pass a bill created by Shaffer’s sister, Heidi Markow, called “Robin’s Law.” The bill, similar to the Megan’s Law registry, would instead have a database of persons convicted of a domestic violence offense, along with a picture and address. Criminals convicted will remain on the registry for 10 years after being released from prison for the offense, will have 10 days to notify police with an address change and will have to confirm their address every 90 days with the state police, reports Christopher Ruvo of The Intelligencer.
