Decarlos Brown was charged with the murder of Iryna Zarutska during a train ride. Many conservatives pointed to Brown’s criminal past and his subsequent release from government custody. Their reasoning is that had Brown been held as long as he normally would’ve been held for his prior crimes, Zarutska would still be alive. However, North Carolina State Representative, Marcia Morey, Democrat, dismissed these criticisms of the state’s bail policy. Morey insisted that there was “no connection” between Brown’s current accusation and his prior releases.<\/p>\n

A North Carolina state representative is under fire for saying there is “no correlation” between the murder of Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old refugee from Ukraine, and the fact that her accused killer had been released from jail 14 times.<\/p>\n

State Rep. Marcia Morey, a longtime Democratic lawmaker and former judge, made the comments while defending the state’s bail system. Critics argue the system has allowed violent offenders to cycle in and out of custody with little accountability.<\/p>\n

Decarlos Brown has been described by authorities as a dangerous career criminal who was repeatedly in and out of jail before he allegedly stabbed Zarutska to death on a light rail train in Charlotte. Many believe a broken bail system allowed him to remain free despite his violent record.<\/p>\n

Morey, one of North Carolina’s most vocal advocates for bail reform, defended her comments and went on to condemn efforts to connect the case to bail policies.<\/p>\n

“But don’t correlate what happened in January and a magistrate who set a bail according to guidelines to what happened in August. There is no correlation,” she said during a legislative session.<\/p>\n

Her argument has been countered by many lawmakers, who claim the tragedy shows exactly why it’s dangerous to allow repeat offenders back on the street.<\/p>\n

Republican Senate Leader Phil Berger argued that bail reform measures designed to keep more defendants out of jail while awaiting trial are endangering public safety.<\/p>\n

“Iryna should still be alive. She should be thriving and enjoying time with her family and friends,” Berger said. “We cannot let North Carolina be held hostage by woke, weak-on-crime policies and court officials who prioritize criminals over justice for victims. We are also taking steps to revive the death penalty for those who commit the most heinous crimes.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
