Lawmakers have once again introduced 'Aisha's Law,' legislation to provide more protections for victims and survivors of domestic violence . In her first interview since her daughter's death, Aisha's mother is urging its passage.
"The judge should have never let him out after seven or eight months, because he never even reformed when he was in jail," Fraser said. Former Cuyahoga County Judge Lance Mason pleaded guilty to a slew of charges, including murder, relating to the stabbing death of his ex-wife Aisha Fraser, during his pretrial hearing in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas in 2019.
Since Aisha's death, Ohio lawmakers have continued to propose legislation known as Aisha's Law. A bipartisan group of more than 30 of them want her story to lead to a change. H.B. 486 would also create additional penalties for aggravated murder when the victim was a family member and for child endangerment when the violence happens around children. Plus it would mandate courts to have a judge available around the clock to issue protection orders.Until 2023, Ohio was the only state in the U.S. that failed to recognize the potentially deadly crime as a felony.
Aisha's loved ones hope that lawmakers can get it done this time — so that other families don't have to suffer the same fate.
