New York Bouncer Convicted

There was a recent article on CNN about a New York bouncer who was convicted of murdering a 24-year-old girl who came into the club he worked. He had an extensive criminal record but it turns out that the owners of the bar didn't know he had a criminal record. As a result there is legislation in the works that will require all bars in New York to run criminal history background checks on all bouncers that work at these establishments. This is not limited to New York though. This is happening all accross the country and states are starting to notice. As a result they are requiring businesses that sell alchohol to run criminal reports on all of their employees. Here is the article it's an interesting read.
