_南卡罗来纳州北查尔斯顿——周四，一名北卡罗来纳州女子在入室抢劫中遭枪击遇害的悲痛父亲，敦促司法部长托德·布兰奇和共和党参议员达琳·格雷厄姆通过一项法案，设立暴力惯犯全国数据库。 该法案由格雷厄姆已故的兄长林赛·格雷厄姆参议员于六个月前提出，至今仍未取得进展。**
斯蒂芬·费德里科在北查尔斯顿的一场执法圆桌会议上发言时，谈及他为何呼吁通过《洛根法案》，以纪念自己的女儿洛根·费德里科。2025年，洛根在南卡罗来纳州哥伦比亚探访朋友期间，于一起入室抢劫案中遇害。
杀害洛根的嫌疑人此前至少面临25项重罪指控，在被指控杀害费德里科之前已被逮捕数十次，尽管有犯罪前科，却仍未长期入狱。
“罪犯比无辜者更受重视，”费德里科在查尔斯顿县警长办公室的圆桌会议上坐在布兰奇和格雷厄姆身旁时说道。他接着表示，像他这样的父母是对抗暴力犯罪和“职业重刑犯”的“弱势一方”，而杀害女儿的正是这类罪犯。
该法案今年由林赛·格雷厄姆在参议院提出，后者于7月突然去世。如果该法案经国会参众两院通过并签署生效，将要求司法部长建立一个面向公众的暴力犯罪者联邦数据库，并鼓励各州之间共享数据，以保护公众免受惯犯侵害。
南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员拉塞尔·弗莱也提出了该法案，他在特别初选中挑战达琳·格雷厄姆以争夺其兄长的参议院席位，并出席了周四的活动。
费德里科将女儿的死归咎于当地警方：警方逮捕了杀害女儿的嫌疑人，却不知道他在其他司法管辖区有未执行的逮捕令。被控杀害洛根的男子目前因谋杀、入室盗窃和枪支罪名等待审判。
尽管该法案于4月提出，但尽管共和党控制着国会和白宫，华盛顿方面推动该法案通过的动力依然微弱。
不过，布兰奇和格雷厄姆在圆桌会议后的简短新闻发布会上对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示，该法案应尽快获得两党支持通过，尽管明年民主党可能控制国会，该法案的成功前景依然渺茫。
达琳·格雷厄姆的选情出人意料地胶着——她正与民主党人安妮·安德鲁斯争夺该席位。尽管几十年来南卡罗来纳州从未有民主党人赢得参议院席位，但最近的几项民调显示，安德鲁斯和格雷厄姆的支持率几乎持平。库克政治报告将该选区的评级从“稳固共和党”调整为“倾向共和党”。
“我希望我有水晶球，但我没有，”格雷厄姆说，并补充道《洛根法案》“不应成为红党或蓝党的议题——这是一个保护民众的常识性议题。”
“你说得对，我们已经有大约六个月的时间来推动该法案通过，”布兰奇说，并补充道，“这项法案应该通过。”
费德里科在圆桌会议上强忍泪水表示，他会“尽一切必要努力推动这项法律通过”。
“我会和任何人交谈，我会与任何人合作，”费德里科说，“因为这件事，我不再是女儿的父亲了。我不再有女儿了，这对我不公平。这起悲剧本可以避免。该死的，我不会只拯救一条生命，我要拯救数千条。”

North Carolina man whose daughter was killed presses DOJ and lawmakers on bill aimed at “career felons”
2026-10-08 7:53 PM EDT / CBS News
North Charleston, South Carolina — The grieving father of a North Carolina woman who was shot and killed during a break-in pressed Attorney General Todd Blanche and GOP Sen. Darline Graham to pass a bill that would create a national database of repeat violent offenders on Thursday, after the bill failed to gain momentum in the six months since it was introduced by Graham’s late brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Speaking at a law enforcement roundtable event in North Charleston, Stephen Federico talked about how he had called for the passage of Logan’s Law to honor his daughter Logan Federico, who was killed during a break-in in Columbia, South Carolina, while visiting friends in 2025.
The suspect in Logan’s murder had faced at least 25 felony charges and had been arrested dozens of times before allegedly killing Federico, and he had avoided long-term jail time despite his criminal history.
“The criminal is more important than the innocent,” said Federico, who was seated next to Blanche and Graham at the roundtable at the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office. He went on to say that parents like him are the “underdogs” fighting against violent crime and “career felons” like the one alleged to have killed his daughter.
The bill was introduced this year in the Senate by Lindsey Graham before he died suddenly in July. If passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law, it would order the attorney general to create a publicly accessible federal database of individuals convicted for violent crimes and would encourage data-sharing between states to protect the public from repeat offenders.
The bill was also introduced by South Carolina GOP Rep. Russell Fry, who challenged Darline Graham in the special primary for her brother’s Senate seat and was present for the event Thursday.
Federico blamed his daughter’s death on local police departments that had arrested his daughter’s alleged killer and did not know there were outstanding warrants for his arrest in different jurisdictions. The person charged in her killing is awaiting trial on murder, burglary and gun charges.
Although the bill was introduced in April, there has been little momentum in Washington pushing the bill toward passage, despite the fact that Republicans control Congress and the White House.
Blanche and Graham, however, told CBS News during a brief press conference after the roundtable that the bill should be passed soon with bipartisan support, though its prospects of success in a potential Democrat-controlled Congress next year remain dim.
Darline Graham is in a race that has grown unexpectedly tight — she’s defending the seat against Democrat Annie Andrews. Though a Democrat hasn’t won a Senate race in South Carolina in decades, a couple of recent polls suggested Andrews and Graham are virtually tied. The Cook Political Report changed its rating of the race from “solid Republican” to “likely Republican.”
“I wish I had a crystal ball, but I don’t,” Graham said, adding that Logan’s Law “shouldn’t be a red or blue issue — this is a common-sense issue to protect people.”
“You’re right, we’ve had six months or so [to get the bill passed],” Blanche said, adding, “This should pass.”
Fighting back tears at the roundtable, Federico said he would “do anything I have to do to get this law passed.”
“I will speak with anybody. I will work with anyone,” Federico said. “I’m not a girl dad anymore because of this. I’m not a girl dad anymore, and that’s not fair to me. This was preventable. And dammit, I’m not going to save one more life. I’m going to save thousands.”
