How can people trust a system where those making life-or-death decisions don’t even need proper training?

Yes, it’s real. In the US, 32 states allow some low-level judges, including magistrates, to serve without a law degree. For instance, in North Carolina, over 80% of magistrates lack J.D.s. Requirements vary by state and court level.

Judge Who Released the Monster That Butchered Iryna Zarutska Isn’t Even a Lawyer
North Carolina Judge Teresa Stokes Who Released Violent Monster Who Butchered Iryna Zarutska Was Not Even a Lawyer
Judges releasing violent criminals into your communities aren’t even lawyers. Judges in states like North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia, Texas, Arizona don’t even have to be lawyers. They don’t have to study law but they can be judges. Pure political job. Democrats have destroyed the judicial system. It’s irretrievably broken.
North Carolina Judge Teresa Stokes who released the career criminal, DeCarlos Brown Jr., who murdered the Ukrainian refugee on a promise he’d return to court for trial is NOT a lawyer. In states like North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Texas and Arizona the magistrate signing your arrest or search warrant, or deciding bail amounts might not be a lawyer.

Meet the Judge Who Released Killer DeCarlos Brown
Judge Teresa Stokes
He was released by Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes on a promise that he would return to court. He should have been detained with his rap sheet. Stokes runs a treatment center and some online believe it’s a conflict of interest. However, there is no evidence that she committed an offense using the therapy center other than releasing a dangerous criminal onto the streets.
Brown’s own mother had sought an involuntary commitment for him. He is homeless and has Schizophrenia. Despite his violent criminal history, mental illness, and lack of a fixed address, Stokes let him go with no bond required.

Lawmakers call for removal of Judge Teresa Stokes after Charlotte light rail stabbing
Judge’s ‘promise’ let career criminal walk free to butcher Ukrainian refugee after his MOM said he should be locked up
Stokes allowed Brown, 34, who is homeless and has a litany of previous arrests – including for armed robbery and assault – to walk free on a ‘written promise’ that he would return for his next court appearance.
Brown was arrested on January 19 for alleged ‘misuse of the 911 system’, after he dialed the emergency number while police were conducting a welfare check on him.
During the ordeal, Brown, who is schizophrenic, told police he thought that ‘man made’ materials were inside his body controlling his movements.
‘Brown wanted officers to investigate this “man-made” material that was inside of his body,’ the arrest affidavit reads.
‘Officers advised Brown that the issue was medical issue and that there was nothing further they could do.’
This response sent Brown into a rage, and he called 911. Officers arrested him and charged him with a misdemeanor.
Iryna Zarutska murder: Did Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes, who released Decarlos Brown pass bar exam? Netizens dig out details
Amid the growing controversy around the murder of Iryna Zarutska and suspect Decarlos Brown Jr, a viral post is currently doing rounds on the internet alleging that Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes, who reportedly approved the release of Decarlos Brown Jr before the fatal attack recently, never passed the bar exam, pointing users to the official North Carolina State Bar website for verification.
Critics argue that allowing someone without a formal legal qualification to make judicial decisions, especially in cases involving repeat offenders, indicates a dangerous flaw in the country’s justice system.
When Justice Is a Revolving Door, Innocents Pay the Price
While the media turns a blind eye, innocent Americans like Iryna Zarutska pay the price of soft-on-crime policies. How many more victims before voters say enough?
I think crime might make its way to the top. Folks, let me tell you about Iryna Zarutska, a beautiful young woman from Ukraine who came to America chasing the dream we all hold dear—safety, opportunity, a fresh start.
On August 22nd, that dream turned into a bloody nightmare on a Charlotte, North Carolina light-rail car. Iryna was viciously stabbed to death by Decarlos Brown Jr., a thug with at least 14 prior arrests, including assaults and weapons charges. Eyewitnesses watched in horror as he plunged the knife into her again and again, all while she fought for her life.
This wasn’t just some random act; it was the inevitable result of a broken system that coddles criminals and spits on victims. And yet, the media? Crickets. Zero stories in the New York Times about Iryna in the weeks after her brutal murder. But George Floyd? 5,897 hits. Trayvon Martin? 1,190. Even Kilmar Abrego Garcia got 56 stories. Iryna? Nada. The elite press only cares when some crime they like fits their narrative.
