U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed on Tuesday, September 8th to pursue the “maximum penalty” against a man charged with murdering a 23-year-old a Ukrainian refugee..
Iryna Zarutska was repeatedly stabbed from behind by 34-year-old DeCarlos Brown Jr. last month while riding a light rail train in the southern city of Charlotte, North Carolina.
“We will seek the maximum penalty for this unforgivable act of violence. He will never again see the light of day as a free man,” Bondi said in a statement. “Brown is charged with one federal count of committing an act causing death on a mass transportation system, and faces life in prison or the death penalty,” the statement said.
“This monster should have been locked up, and Iryna should still be alive, but Democrat politicians, liberal judges and weak prosecutors would rather virtue signal than lock up criminals and protect their communities,” White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said.
