This case is a particularly rough one, but it's even more important to share. Brittany takes us through the case that inspired Megan's law, the federal law in the United States requiring law enforcement authorities to make information available to the public regarding registered sex offenders. Join us this week as she tells us of the horrific assault and murder of Megan Kanka and the aftermath.
