US authorities make new decisions after the murder of Ukrainian woman Zarutska

The new law was signed by North Carolina Governor Josh Stein.

What is important to understand about this document:

• prohibits non-cash bail for some violent crimes and for most repeat offenders,

• limits the powers of magistrates and judges to make decisions on release pending trial,

• allows the chief judge of a state to remove magistrates from office,

• requires more defendants to undergo mental health evaluations.

North Carolina Governor Josh Stein explained why he decided to sign "Irina's Law."

Despite this, the governor noted that he has comments on this law.

The main problem is that the law focuses too much on the defendant's right to bail, rather than on the danger he poses.

In addition, an amendment was made to the law, which, according to the governor, "is intended to introduce execution by firing squad in North Carolina." The official said that he would not allow this to happen while he holds this position.
