Iryna Zarutska murderer ‘incapable’ of proceeding to trial?
Public defenders for Decarlos Brown Jr., the deranged North Carolina man seen on video abruptly stabbing 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska to death on a commuter train in August, have filed a motion claiming he is currently mentally “incapable to proceed” to trial, citing a psychiatric evaluation. A judge will decide whether and when Brown goes to trial, and he remains in custody on both state and federal charges. Every year in America, roughly 10,000 to 12,000 people are ruled mentally unable to stand trial. It is a poignant example of the deep flaws in a justice system prophesied to fall short of providing true justice.
