Meet the Judge Who Released Killer DeCarlos Brown

As one X poster said, Americans just want a Justice System that does not let someone with 14 mugshots free to sit behind you on a bus. It’s not much.

That takes us to the death of Iryna Zarutska, who was murdered in cold blood on a Charlotte, North Carolina train at the end of last month. Her killer, DeCarlos Brown, 35, has 14 mugshots and has spent his life since 2007 committing serious crimes. He was awaiting trial for a crime when he decided to kill the 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee for no discernible reason.

Judge Teresa Stokes

He was released by Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes on a promise that he would return to court. He should have been detained with his rap sheet. Stokes runs a treatment center and some online believe it’s a conflict of interest. However, there is no evidence that she committed an offense using the therapy center other than releasing a dangerous criminal. on to the streets

Brown’s own mother had sought an involuntary commitment for him. He is homeless and has Schizophrenia. Despite his violent criminal history, mental illness, and lack of a fixed address, Stokes let him go with no bond required.

Stokes, appointed and supervised by the chief district judge in Mecklenburg County, is not a licensed attorney or a member of the North Carolina State Bar, although magistrates in the state are not required to be. Under law, magistrates may qualify with a four-year college degree or a two-year associate degree and four years of experience in a related field.

She is not even a lawyer. We need better people making these decisions.

Stokes’s name appears on a now-deleted Bold.Pro profile listing her as director of operations at the Second Chance Recovery and a magistrate, but that listed role could not be confirmed independently.

Someone answering the phone told Washington Examiner the crime has nothing to do with them. So far, that appears to be accurate.

Because of that judge’s blatant malfeasance, justice demands that she should be held accountable.

It seems to me that the state law on magistrates needs to be updated immediately. Minimum requirement is graduation from an accredited law school. I would also prefer they pass the state bar exam as well.

Since Teresa Stokes is the Director of Operations for the Second Chance Mental Health Clinic in Charlotte, she had a real conflict of interest and should have remanded Brown to jail.

Every rational human being will agree that this innocent woman would not have lost her life if this deranged murderer would have stayed in jail. Many feel this judge is an accomplice in this murder. She freed this deranged man onto society, and he murdered an innocent human being. She should never hold court again, should be criminally convicted, and… Read more »

So well stated . Stokes should be terminated and held at least civilly libel for the murder. In fact I would be a proponent if having her be held to the same punishment as the murderer…another DEI useless , dangerous appointment. Give her life In solitary—

Where do these judges come from? I read this woman doesn’t have a law degree. Who appointed her? I have heard of stupid things done but this is horrible. I think This Stokes must be arrested and sentenced to a very long stay in jail. Our city, county, state must explain why this woman is a judge and then change… Read more »
