Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) announced on Sunday that he is going to introduce legislation to hold soft-on-crime judges accountable if they release a violent criminal back to the street and the criminal commits more crimes.
The proposed legislation would “hold judges accountable when violent repeat offenders they release commit new crimes,” he said.
This comes after 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. murdered 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska last month by stabbing her multiple times in the Charlotte, North Carolina, light rail station.
Surveillance video from the incident shows Brown, unprovoked, stabbing Zarutska from the seat behind her on the light rail, then wandering around the rail car with what appears to be blood on the floor.

The lunatic had a long criminal rap sheet, with arrests dating back to 2007. He was later arrested at least six more times on charges, including felony larceny, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and communicating threats, according to the Daily Mail. Most of the charges were dropped.
Other reports and social media posts suggest he may have been arrested and released at least 12 times.
“It’s easy to release criminals when you’re protected by an armed bailiff at all times. The rest of us aren’t so lucky,” Fine said.
“Those 12+ judges that released Decarlos Brown Jr. should have their day in court too.”
These liberal judges are derelict in their duties and are sacrificing innocent people’s natural rights for black career criminals. John Locke would call this a violation of the social contract between the people and government.

This is a developing story.
As they should be. Manslaughter charges.
District courts to begin issuing nationwide injunctions against congress in 3...2...
I think that is an outstanding idea.
Oh, this the freshman lawmaker, that few liked, showing the uniparty how to draw distiction with your enemies? Good show!
A game-changer. Just do it.
A start, but doubt it will go anywhere. Too many Rinos.
Just like the need for Tort reform, it’s never going to happen.
This is not constitutionally a federal issue. It is constitutionally a state’s issue.
Stop trying expand the already mostly unconstitutional federal gov’t’s power.
Congress should issue a statutory finding that a district judge should be discharged for Senate review upon three overturns of their opinions by an appellate court. Such would constitute a failure to uphold "good behavior" by the terms of Article III as ratified without such a specification.
He needs to add district attorneys to that bill. Doesn’t help if the criminal never goes before a judge or the state asks for ROR.
Whatever happened to three strikes and your out?

Depraved-heart murder?
From the link:
“In a depraved-heart murder, defendants commit an act even though they know their act runs an unusually high risk of causing death or serious bodily harm to a person.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depraved-heart_murder
With an aggravating circumstance of "depraved indifference to human life."
Will be an interesting test of the judge created “absolute immunity” they gave themselves (with no precedent in Anglo-American law or the Constitution) vs. the legislature’s powers.
“Congress should issue a statutory finding that a district judge should be discharged for Senate review upon three overturns of their opinions by an appellate court.”
*************
That’s certainly fair, with the caveat that its over a stipulated time frame. Anyone else who fails to uphold expectations/standards of “good behavior” would find their current job status to be very tenuous. Judges should be required to maintain the highest standards of integrity in this country.
We can hope the Republicans pass it in the House because the Dems won’t vote for it.
Something has to be done.
I've thought about that caveat, but decided to dispense with it because the Senate reconfirmation would then be perfunctory if the judge was otherwise outstanding.
Fewer words are better.
That’s soooo 20th Century......................
