N.J. law is meant to protect judges after horrific killing. Implementing it won’t be easy.
Updated Dec 14, 2020;
County and municipal clerks are asking for guidance on how to implement Daniel’s Law, state legislation that makes it a crime to post addresses or phone numbers of current and former judges, prosecutors and law enforcement officers.
None take issue with the goal of the new requirements. After all, the bill (A1649) was signed into law last month after U.S. District Judge Esther Salas’s only son, Daniel Anderl, was fatally shot in July at her New Jersey home. Her husband was also injured at the home after a gunman found the judge’s address online.
