    In the wake of the fatal stabbing of Iryna Zarutska - which took place in allegedly a random attack last month - a magistrate who granted her murderer's release is being criticized by a former Fox News host, Eric Bolling.

    According to Raw Story, Bolling - who now runs a show on Real America's Voice network - has encouraged his viewers to target Judge Teresa Stokes from North Carolina, claiming:

    "A savage, unprovoked murder with zero room for debate. All captured on cideo. A thug Black perp with 14 prior convictions, left off by a magistrate, ready for this? Judge Teresa Stokes, and othe judges who don't believe in prison or Black crime."

    After blaming Judge Stokes for Iryna Zarutska's murder, Bolling went on to claim that that the US was "not a real country" since the system wasn't designed to "protect women and children from violence." He continued to say:

    "Unless this warning is taken seriously and real change happens, we're not and cannot be a real country... Go find her. Teresa Stokes. Tell them 'The Bolling Show' sent you."

    For the unversed, Decarlos Brown - who murdered Zarutska last month - had previously been arrested on January 19, 2025, after he called 911 multiple times while police officers were conducting a welfare check on him. 

    The welfare check took place after Brown told officers about "man-made" materials residing inside his body, that controlled his eating, walking and talking. When officers told him it was a medical issue they couldn't help him with, Decarlos became angry and called 911, leading to his arrest.

    KFox14 News reported that that following his arrest, when Brown appeared in court, Judge Teresa Stokes granted his release after getting a written promise of returning for his court hearing.

    The 34-year-old, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, was charged with a Misdemeanor Class 1. 

    Decarlos Brown has had a long history of arrests 

    This isn't Decarlos Brown's first arrest. Per KFox14 News, Brown has been arrested at least 14 times before January 2025, over diverse offenses like possession of a firearm and robbery with dangerous weapon.

    One of the offenses also included a physical assault of his sister. Back in 2014, Decarlos received a five-year prison sentence for armed robbery. 

    Brown's misdemeanor case was still open on August 22, when he boarded the train in Charlotte, North Carolina, and stabbed Iryna Zarutska in her neck.

    In the wake of the incident, Brown's mother spoke to a local television about him getting violent at home, which led her to seek a psychiatric commitment for him. 

    Following Iryna Zarutska's stabbing, Decarlos Brown was arrested at the murder scene and has been charged with first-degree murder.
