Most Americans have seen the video of Decarlos Brown Jr. stabbing Iryna Zarutska to death on the Charlotte, North Carolina, subway. Unfortunately, Brown has been found \u201cincapable to proceed\u201d on state murder charges.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, PJ Media<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n The serial criminal who murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte subway just for being white just received another break, as a hospital claimed he was incapable of standing trial and prosecutors have delayed his competency hearing by six months.<\/strong><\/p>\n In an apparent effort to delay and thus perhaps permanently undermine justice for Iryna Zarutska’s killer, prosecutors have accepted the assessment from Central Regional Hospital, leaving a judge to decide whether to reject the assessment and proceed with the April 30 hearing to delay 180 days as the hospital and prosecutors recommend. The new claim that Decarlos Brown is “incapable to proceed” on state murder charges became public in a motion filed April 7, according to the New York Post<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr.<\/a> already had 14 arrests on his record when he boarded a Charlotte subway train in August 2025 with violence on his mind. Brown did not know Iryna, who was also riding the subway and quietly minding her own business. But Brown suddenly and randomly approached Iryna and stabbed the young woman to death while most of the other passengers looked another way, refusing to intervene. Just before he got off the train, video of Brown shows him gloating to himself, “Got that white girl.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The article notes:<\/p>\n The new assessment that Brown is incompetent to stand trial could prevent trying him for the death penalty. From the New York Post:<\/strong><\/p>\n Brown is also facing federal charges \u2014 and will remain in custody on that case, his lawyer Daniel Roberts said.<\/strong><\/p>\n A judge must now determine whether to accept the report\u2019s findings, and the case against him will likely be delayed until his capacity is determined to be \u201crestored\u201d by the court, the station reported\u2026If a judge agrees Brown is incompetent to stand trial, state law mandates the charges be dismissed. However, if the judge issues the ruling without prejudice, state murder charges could be refiled if he ever regains his capacity to be tried.<\/strong><\/p>\n It will be a serious miscarriage of justice if Brown is not put on trial for his crime. I understand the concept of innocent until proven guilty, but the video of the incident is pretty clear evidence of what happened. At any rate, he should never be able to walk the streets freely again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most Americans have seen the video of Decarlos Brown Jr. stabbing Iryna Zarutska to death on the Charlotte, North Carolina, subway.
