U.S. Representatives Glenn “GT” Thompson and Matt Cartwright today introduced Eric’s Law, a bill that aims to deliver justice to victims and their families in federal death penalty cases.

Eric’s Law is named for Eric Williams, a federal correctional officer who was brutally murdered by Jessie Con-ui, an inmate at the U.S. Penitentiary Canaan in Wayne County.

Con-ui was already serving a life sentence for a gang initiation murder in Arizona when he brutally attacked Williams on Feb. 25, 2013.
