Issue Position
Issues: Minors and Children Criminal Justice
With experience in the criminal court system, fighting crime and protecting children is a special priority for Marcy.
Specifically, Marcy authored the Brad Fox Law, so named for 147th District resident and Plymouth Township Police Officer Brad Fox. Officer Fox was murdered by a criminal using a firearm obtained illegally from a "straw purchaser.' Marcy's legislation, Act 199 of 2012, imposed a five-year minimum sentence for those convicted of making a second or subsequent "straw purchase' for someone not permitted to own a firearm.
Marcy also authored Act 105 of 2013 providing for tougher sentencing for those convicted of child pornography charges.
