Special to IFNRALEIGH — The General Assembly will meet this week to consider a package of criminal justice reforms that target policies that contributed to the senseless murder of Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte. Any hearings related to a death penalty case would be required to be held in the county where the offender was convicted. This ensures that prosecutors can pursue, and the courts can impose, the death penalty without question for similar crimes like the one that took Iryna’s life. Additionally, the bill would:♦ Clarify that a judicial official must review and consider the defendant’s criminal history before setting conditions of pretrial release. ♦ Require a judicial official to make written findings of fact explaining the reason why the official determined the conditions of release in each case.
