Ohio lawmakers propose expanding Son of Sam law to block crowdfunding for violent crime suspects, following a case where a man accused of killing a deputy raised over $55,000 online. The bill, House Bill 505, targets platforms like GoFundMe and requires them to shut down or refund donations for campaigns breaking the rules. The deputys widow shared her pain during a committee hearing, emphasizing the emotional toll of seeing money raised for the suspect. The bill is now headed to more hearings in the House Technology and Innovation Committee, where critics can weigh in.
