GOP lawmakers urge removal of judge who gave Iryna Zarutska’s suspected killer cashless bail

Republican lawmakers are pushing to have the North Carolina judge who released the violent criminal accused of fatally stabbing Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska removed from the bench.

Ten GOP US House members from North Carolina have signed a letter insisting on formal proceedings to remove Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes for her “reckless” decision to release Decarlos Brown Jr. on cashless bail despite being aware of his lengthy criminal history and mental health issues, Rep. Tim Moore (R-NC) posted on X Wednesday.

The letter, addressed to Chief District Court Judge Roy Wiggins, claimed that Stokes’ ruling to allow Brown Jr. to go free “based solely on his ‘written promise’ to appear for a future court date” following his January arrest had “devastating consequences.”

“Ms. Zarutska’s murder was not only a profound personal tragedy but also a direct result of a failure of judicial responsibility,” the letter read.

“By releasing a repeat violent offender on nothing more than his written promise to appear, Magistrate Stokes displayed a willful failure to perform the duties of her office and engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice.”

Magistrate Stokes should resign today or be removed from office. It should be bipartisan unless Democrats support these murders.

What about her other job?

Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes, who RELEASED 14-time criminal DeCarlos Brown Jr., is also the "Director of Operations" at Second Chance Services, a mental health and addiction clinic in Charlotte, NC.

Any conflicts there…… 🧐🧐🧐🧐

Judge is complicit to murder. She should be indicted, if not, the whole court system is corrupt.

Sorry to repeat myself but the latter is correct.

It's sad that my many posts of the past years saw the future of nearly everyone in 2025 as we begin to fight the system. Going along and getting along didn't work.

I wish I had been wrong.

Time to pull qualified immunity for judges and prosecutors. Let them face civil prosecution.

Have you guys seen the fear and shock on that girls face right before he kills her?

Unbelievable that such an animal is let go on society. A dog that bites people gets put down. This guy has bitten people at least 14 times (priors) and he was on the streets?

Yeah, that judge has no common sense, or has some idiotic agenda and needs to go.

You’ve been hyping Ukraine all these years and demanding we get involved and wasting hundreds of billions of dollars there, while our cities are collapsing into anarchy. Your crowd slanders everyone here who wanted us to stay home and fix our own country before going off to save everyone else. Now you’re outraged? These things have been happening in our cities for years. Now you’re outraged? You didn’t care before when it was happning to Americans.
