Republican lawmakers are advancing a new bill designed to hold judges accountable for releasing violent repeat offenders.
Introduced by Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.), the legislation would allow victims and their families to sue judges if their decisions to release repeat violent offenders lead to additional harm.
Fine argues that just as other professionals, like bartenders, are held responsible for their actions, judges should face consequences for rulings that put public safety at risk.
The bill follows the case of Decarlos Brown Jr., who was granted cashless bail despite his history of violent offenses and known mental health issues. Brown is accused of fatally stabbing 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska aboard a Charlotte light rail train.
The incident has reignited debates over bail reform and judicial accountability, with critics claiming lenient release policies contribute to repeat offenses.
Supporters of the bill argue it’s essential to ensure judges prioritize public safety when deciding whether to release offenders. They believe holding judges accountable will promote stricter public safety standards and prevent dangerous individuals from being set free.
Opponents, however, argue the bill could undermine judicial independence and open the door to frivolous lawsuits.
As the bill progresses, it is expected to spark further debates about balancing judicial discretion with public safety in the criminal justice system.
I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.
I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.
Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.
