AG Pam Bondi vows to prosecute man accused of killing Iryna Zarutska
Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, the disgusting monster accused of murdering 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska in North Carolina last month, will soon face the fullest possible extent of Justice thanks to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.
According to Breitbart, Bondi announced this week that she's directing her team to federally prosecute Brown -- a repeat offender with a lengthy felony rap sheet -- in the wake of Zarutska's murder.
Like many others, Bondi accused the soft-on-crime prosecutors and state AG's of being on the hook for her murder, as Brown should have never been let out of jail once, let alone over a dozen times.
Brown's rap sheet includes several serious charges of violent crime. Thanks to Democrat-elected and appointed soft-on-crime judges and DAs, he's never had to be held accountable for his poor choices.
What's going on?
AG Bondi announced the intention to go after Brown to the fullest extent of the law in an X post on Tuesday, making it crystal clear that her Justice Department isn't messing around.
“Iryna Zarutska was a young woman living the American dream — her horrific murder is a direct result of failed soft-on-crime policies that put criminals before innocent people," she wrote.
Bondi added, "I have directed my attorneys to federally prosecute DeCarlos Brown Jr., a repeat violent offender with a history of violent crime, for murder. We will seek the maximum penalty for this unforgivable crime, and he will never again see the light of day as a free man."

"Disgraceful act"
FBI Director Kash Patel also weighed in on the situation.
"The brutal attack on Iryna Zarutska was a disgraceful act that should never happen in America. The @FBI immediately surged into action to ensure justice is served and to make clear that violent criminals will never be allowed to walk free again," he wrote.
Patel added, "President Trump is committed to restoring safety to every American city, and I want to thank @AGPamBondi for delivering the federal charges that will hold this perpetrator accountable."
Social media responds
Users across social media weighed in on Bondi's vow to prosecute Brown.
"That is great Pam, but we need to go after the DA’s and judges that allowed him to roam free until he killed someone ," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "Also please go after the judge that let him off."
