North Carolina state Sen. Woodson Bradley is leading a push to toughen North Carolina's strangulation laws following a court case where a man was caught on camera with his hands around a woman's neck but was found not guilty of strangulation due to a technicality in the current law. The proposed law would define strangulation as what you think it is. It comes after a video showed a man assaulting a woman on his front porch in 2023. The bill would also increase penalties for strangulation.
