Logan Federico’s dad says criminals have become 'more important' than victims, pushes repeat offender registry

The father of Logan Federico, a 22-year-old college student murdered during a home break-in, is demanding federal lawmakers close the legal loopholes that allow career criminals back onto the street.

Stephen Federico is championing "Logan’s Law," a legislative proposal that would mandate a public database for repeat violent offenders, force cross-county and interstate communication, and hold prosecutors accountable when handling habitual criminals.

The bill aims to eliminate systemic blind spots that allowed Logan's accused killer, Alexander Dickey, to avoid long-term confinement despite a lengthy record.

And d-----, I'm not going to save just one more life," Federico said Thursday during a South Carolina roundtable on crime reduction, which was attended by U.S.

Attorney General Todd Blanche .

"I'm going to save thousands." Federico pointed to broader systemic breakdowns, comparing domestic criminal justice failures to immigration enforcement gaps.
