N2  - The authors outline the steps taken by federal prosecutors to successfully prove a case involving the gross violation of new laws against interstate stalking and cyberstalking. Through painstaking investigation and careful legal footwork, prosecutors were able to convict three family members charged with stalking leading to death--in this case, of a protective mother who, after being relentlessly harassed by her abusive ex-husband and his family, was shot to death in a murder-suicide perpetrated by her ex-father-in-law.
