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.
I wonder if she has any sense of regret. I’m doubtful…
The death penalty for this repeat violent offender will not bring this lady back, but it will stop this monster from murdering the next victim of the insane catch and release “justice” system.
So the judge is another AA/DEI/DIE person. Those people are wrecking society in all sectors.
Exposure is important. This misfit judge just ruined herself with the biggest violent crime story of the year.
She is not ruined. She is still doing her dirty work.
The the chief district judge in Mecklenburg County who’s responsible for appointing and supervising this “magistrate” needs to be looked into. There comes a point when some of these obviously indefensible decisions, leading to innocent deaths, should be grounds for the “judges” to loose their qualified immunity. That’ll get their attention.
Don’t hold your breath on that happening.
could we please talk someone into sending her to hell. she should be charged with murder for allowing this animal to roam the streets. there is definitely systemic racism in America and it’s black on white racism.
The creep’s own mother wanted something done with him, yet her request was ignored. Until judges like this are held responsible this will continue to happen. Reopen the asylums…
“Reopen the asylums…” Yes, and put this ‘magistrate’ in an asylum, or better yet, a prison cell.
