The law has been officially updated to reflect the gravity of carrying weapons in public spaces. This outcome honors Nathan and provides a sense of justice that felt out of reach for so long. We will remain vigilant to ensure these new standards are applied consistently across every case.

We need some help could you please sign this petition in helping us get the law changed. Nathan somers 19 of newark died at his friends party from a single stab wound. His murderer Jemelle Rodney was sentenced to life in prison where he must serve at least 20 years! The other two young teenagers who was apart off this aswell Klien Buchanan and jemelles younger brother Jevelle Rodney was both given community service. Which we think is wrong community service for carrying such an offensive and taking it to a party. We as family and friends of Nathan would like to make a change! If you carry a knife or any offence weapon that can cause serious harm to another person then You deserve a prison sentence! That's why we would like you all to sign this petition and help us get this changed to stop this happening to anybody else!

no one would carry a weapon with no intention of using it.if it is carried by a group and one of the group use it,then all should be held culpable.
