Presenter Drew Carey - Howard WISE / JPI / VISUAL Press Agency

Upset by the murder of his ex-fiancée, the American comedian Drew Carey (known in the United States for animating the US version of the TV game The Just Price ) decided to act in favor of a new law on domestic violence. Indeed, Amie Harwich, with whom the actor was engaged for a time, was pushed into the void from the third floor by Gareth Pursehouse, one of his former companions. According to the police report relayed by E! News, traces of strangulation were observed on the 38-year-old therapist's neck.

In response, Drew Carey relayed a petition on change.org demanding better protection of women against domestic violence. "Sign this petition and give some money if you can. #JusticeForAmie. Thank you and God bless you, ”he wrote on Twitter.

Please sign this petition and chip in if you can. #JusticeForAmie
Thank you and bless you 🙏https: //t.co/3eOfWhU5gb

A necessary change

The case of the ex-fiancée of Drew Carey is a tragic example of the inadequacy of the legislation on domestic violence, whether in the United States or elsewhere.

Amie Harwich had obtained two expulsion orders against her killer, which did not prevent the latter from continuing his threats and taking action.
