NC governor signs criminal justice bill into law after Ukrainian refugee killing

North Carolina Governor Josh Stein has signed a significant criminal justice bill into law, named 'Iryna’s Law,' in memory of Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee tragically killed on the Charlotte light rail. This legislation, which received overwhelming bipartisan support, aims to enhance safety and accountability within the state's justice system. It matters because it not only honors a life lost but also represents a collective effort to improve community safety and prevent future tragedies.
