One year after 22-year-old Logan Federico was killed in South Carolina, Stephen Federico said the alleged burglar had a long record and had repeatedly moved through prison and court systems.
Wilson and Federico called for better criminal-record sharing, sentencing changes, greater judicial accountability and keeping dangerous defendants in custody rather than easing cash bail.
They said outdated record-keeping and incomplete information left judges, prosecutors and law enforcement without a full picture, allowing a repeat offender to remain free before the fatal burglary.
As judicial reforms move forward, will transparency and accountability truly prevent tragedies like Logan Federico's, or are more systemic changes needed?
With new laws pending, will South Carolina finally close the loopholes that allowed a career criminal to slip through the cracks and claim an innocent life?
