Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost Addresses Crowdfunding for Deputy Henderson's Murder Case

Published | Video Starts at 04:57

Under current law, the Son of Sam law was not written. In fact, it was before or we had such a thing as crowdfunding, a relatively recent phenomenon. It may well be that The General assembly of Ohio should undertake to pass a law that would regulate this kind of thing as being contrary to the public interest. It would be, I think, pretty easy to enact a law that made GoFundMe's policy, the policy of the state, that you may not do crowdfunding for someone accused of a violent crime. (04:57–05:08)

CLAIM
