U.S. Senator Pat Toomey announced that he introduced "Eric's Law" in the U.S. Senate.
The law is named after Eric Williams, a corrections officer from Nanticoke who was brutally murdered on the job in 2013.
Eric's Law would allow prosecutors to bring in a second jury if the first cannot unanimously decide on the death penalty. Related legislation has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. Now they just have to wait for it to hit the floors for a vote.
There is not set date on will that will be.
