The Kansas House is looking at a bill that would make it a crime for attackers to try to strangle their victims, but just how strong the punishments will be is causing friction between those who work with the victims of domestic violence and lawmakers. On this edition of Up To Date, Steve Kraske talks to a forensic nurse examiner and a state legislator about how non-fatal strangulation will be handled in courts.
Guests:
- Jennifer Bieberdorf is a Forensic Nurse Examiner at Shawnee Mission Medical Center.
- John Rubin (R-Shawnee) is a Kansas State Representative and chairs the House Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice.
