[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The man accused of fatally stabbing a young Ukrainian refugee aboard a North Carolina train erupted in court on Tuesday, screaming at a federal judge moments before he was formally declared unfit to stand trial.
Decarlos Brown Jr, 35, repeatedly interrupted proceedings during a hearing in Charlotte, demanding to know whether the judge had reviewed his mental health evaluation and insisting he wanted to press charges against the FBI.
Brown continued shouting as court officers moved to escort him from the courtroom, making remarks about having 'material in his body' and asking whether the judge had received a letter from his mother.
The outburst came as a federal judge ruled that Brown is mentally incompetent to stand trial in the killing of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, last year.
Brown is charged federally with causing death on a mass transportation system, an offense punishable by death.
He also faces a separate state charge of first-degree murder, although that case has been paused while federal proceedings move forward.
US District Judge Kenneth D Bell ordered Brown committed to a federal medical facility for treatment after mental health experts concluded he is presently unable to understand the legal proceedings against him or properly assist in his own defense.
According to court filings, Brown has repeatedly claimed he is suffering from what he calls a 'body emergency' and believes someone has gained control of his body through technology that authorities refuse to investigate.
Defense attorneys told the court that Brown wanted the judge to hear a statement alleging that 'someone has full access to my body and they are controlling me wrongfully' and that he had been wrongly diagnosed with schizophrenia.
A forensic mental health evaluation conducted by federal examiners concluded that Brown 'is presently not competent to stand trial,' according to the judge's order.
However, experts also determined that his condition could potentially improve with treatment.
The court found Brown's prognosis for restoration of competency was favorable if he received appropriate medication and medical care.
As a result, Bell ordered Brown transferred into the custody of the US Attorney General for hospitalization and treatment for up to four months.
After that period, the court will reassess whether Brown is capable of standing trial, whether additional treatment is necessary, or whether competency cannot be restored.
Outside the courthouse, US Attorney Russ Ferguson said the ruling was an important step in the legal process.
'The court found that his prognosis is "good" to be made competent and set a four-month deadline to have that process go forward,' Ferguson told reporters.

So the punishment for murder is now!
For the next 20 to 35 years this POS gets free room, board, free medical, and many other free things all at working taxpayers expense.

I read somewhee that the family opposed any attempt by the defense lawyers to negotiate a plea bargan with the DA. The Go-Fund-Me cash-flow was far too important to risk a settlement. It will be interesting to see what color bandanna he starts wearing in the GenPop, blue or red? Just remember to avoid ever sitting on the steps where the old white guys sit dummy.

The defense argued that he was 'just a first time murderer'.
Apparently it worked. He'll likely be out in 17 years.
BTW, since he was under 18 at the time of the murder, Texas law forbid the death penalty in this case.

Comments from various places state the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles almost never let people out on their first board hearing. Anthony would have to be the perfect prisoner and I don't see that happening.
[FoxNews] Jeremiah Copeland faces a minimum of 40 years in prison, dishonorable discharge and sex offender registration.
A Navy sailor admitted Monday to strangling fellow sailor, 21-year-old Angelina Resendiz, inside his barracks room last year, bringing what her mother described as "peace of mind" while renewing questions from Resendiz’s family and advocates about whether military leaders missed opportunities to intervene before the killing.
Esmi Castle, whose daughter was found dead in a wooded area in Norfolk, about 10 miles from Naval Station Norfolk in June 2025, told Fox News Digital that hearing Jeremiah Copeland admit responsibility in court answered lingering questions about how her daughter died. But she said she believes the killing could have been prevented.
According to USNI News, Copeland pleaded guilty during a general court-martial Monday to the unpremeditated murder of Culinary Specialist 3rd Class Angelina Resendiz, as well as making a false official statement, aggravated assault involving a second victim and indecent recording involving a third victim.
During the hearing, Copeland admitted to strangling Resendiz on May 29, 2025, telling the military judge, "I killed CS3 Resendiz on May 29, 2025... I strangled her with my hands," according to USNI News. Although the medical examiner previously ruled Resendiz’s cause of death undetermined, Copeland admitted in court that he strangled her, according to USNI News.
According to Copeland, Resendiz came to his barracks room on May 29, 2025, where the two drank alcohol and kissed before she became upset after seeing something on his phone. Copeland admitted in court Monday that he strangled Resendiz while trying to keep her from attracting the attention of other sailors.
Under the plea agreement, Copeland faces a minimum of 40 years in prison, a dishonorable discharge from the Navy, forfeiture of all pay and a reduction in rank. He will also be required to register as a sex offender, USNI News reported.
Castle argued that Navy leadership failed to adequately respond to earlier allegations involving Copeland.
"If they would have dealt with him when he started harming women, he would never have gotten to Angie," she said.
Castle said she believes multiple incidents involving other women should have triggered stronger action before her daughter's death. Court records and prior reporting have described allegations involving other women, though not all allegations resulted in guilty pleas.
"Absolutely, yes," Castle said when asked whether Copeland had a history of harming women. "There were four other women before he harmed Angie in the military."
Before her death, Resendiz was working to advance her Navy career as a culinary specialist and hoped to one day join the service's elite culinary competition team. Castle said her daughter dreamed of eventually cooking for presidents and other world leaders.
Since her daughter's death, Castle has become an outspoken advocate for military sexual violence victims, arguing that active-duty service members often lack meaningful avenues to seek accountability outside the military justice system.
One of her primary goals is creating a pathway for military sexual assault and violence survivors to pursue claims in civilian courts. Castle said victims are too often left with limited options when allegations are mishandled or ignored within the ranks.
"There's no justice," Castle said. "Victims are retaliated against. They get transferred. They get moved around."
Castle recently traveled to Washington, D.C., with advocacy groups and other military families pushing for reforms. Through those efforts, she said she has met relatives of service members from multiple branches whose experiences convinced her the problem extends beyond a single case.
"Nothing's changed," Castle said. "We have statutes, and we have policies, and we have procedures that were implemented by Congress to protect service members from this type of violence. And nothing's changed."
But brutes like Graham Platner, the Maine Nazi-Democrat with his SS Totenkopf tattoo, finish out their service without penalty.
Despite her criticism of the system, Castle said she does not harbor hatred toward Copeland. In fact, after the hearing, she spoke directly with him.
"I thanked him for telling the truth," she said.
Castle also met with Copeland's mother and grandmother, who attended the proceedings.
"We technically have all lost our kids," Castle said.
Rather than expressing anger, Castle said she hopes Copeland uses the decades ahead of him in prison to change.
"He still can choose better," she said, adding that she told Copeland that even while serving a lengthy prison sentence, he "still can do some good."
[FoxNews] An 18-year-old Wisconsin man was sentenced Friday to life in prison for his role in the brutal killing of a 5-year-old Milwaukee boy whose disappearance later led to changes in state law.
Erik Mendoza, who was 15 at the time of the crime, will not be eligible to petition for release for 50 years. He pleaded guilty in February to first-degree intentional homicide, hiding a corpse and three counts of second-degree recklessly endangering safety in the death of Prince McCree, according to local outlets FOX 6 and WISN.
"When considering the serious nature of this defendant's offenses, it does not get more serious, more egregious than this," Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Matthew Torbenson said during Friday's sentencing hearing.
McCree was reported missing on Oct. 25, 2023, after his mother allowed him to go play video games in the basement of the home where his family lived, where David Pietura — who was later sentenced to life in prison in the case — also lived. When she could not find him later that day, she contacted police, according to FOX 6.
The following morning, authorities found the child's body in a dumpster near North 55th Street and West Vliet Street, roughly a mile from his home, WISN reported.
Investigators said Mendoza admitted to choking McCree and striking him multiple times with a golf club, FOX 6 reported, citing court records.
Court records allege Mendoza and accomplice Pietura later disposed of the boy's body. Surveillance video cited in court filings showed the pair carrying a white garbage bag through an alley on the day McCree disappeared, according to the outlet.
Prosecutors said Pietura initially told investigators he and Mendoza had gone for a walk. However, cellphone GPS data contradicted his account. Pietura later directed police to the location of McCree's body, FOX 6 reported.
Pietura pleaded guilty to first-degree intentional homicide and was sentenced to life in prison in 2024, according to FOX 6.
The case prompted the Prince Act, a Wisconsin law that broadened the state's missing-child alert system to include cases that do not meet the criteria for an Amber Alert, WISN reported.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The bill, passed on Tuesday, June 9, will give establishments across the entire state the green light to serve alcohol until 4 a.m. - matching the late-night closing times that are usually reserved exclusively for New York City.
Under the current State Liquor Authority rules, closing times vary wildly by region.
Counties like Ontario are restricted to a 1 a.m. cutoff, Niagara locked down at 2 a.m., and Warren forced to close shutters at 3 a.m.
The new legislation will instantly dismantle those regional curfews, allowing local pubs and sports bars to synchronize with the city from Thursday, June 11.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A father picking up his teenage daughter from a Sydney school has been targetted in an attempted murder.
The 44-year-old father was sitting in his ute as it was parked in a driveway near the school in Fairfield, in the city's west, about 3pm on Wednesday when a man armed with a gun ran up next to the vehicle.
The tradie had just collected his 15-year-old daughter from school and she was sitting next to him.
The gunman had been disguised in a balaclava when he approached the ute.
Both occupants got out of the car and ran, with CCTV footage showing the pair looked back over their shoulders as they ran around the corner of a nearby house.
The father, wearing hi-vis, appeared to push his daughter, who was dressed in a school sports uniform, ahead of him.
The two then later reappeared, with footage showing the father walked ahead towards the car and his daughter urged him to 'watch out' from a few steps behind.
Neither of the two were hurt but NSW Police said the pair were 'distressed'.
'The only description provided of the man with the gun was that he was dressed in black, wearing a black balaclava,' the police statement read.
Police are investigating the incident and also whether the gun had jammed.
The gunman has not been identified, but detectives believe the man could have been targetted because of his relatives.
There is no suggestion he is involved in criminal activity himself.
Muslim immigrant gang, bikie (biker) gang, local talent?
Multiple police patrol cars were dispatched to the school after the father alerted authorities and stayed well into Wednesday evening, along with a police helicopter circling the suburb from overhead.

[Regnum] An investigation into allegations of sexual harassment against International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Karim Khan has revealed serious violations in his work, the Associated Press reported on June 9. Good. The man is scum.
According to the publication, the ICC's supervisory body, the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute, charged Khan with serious misconduct and gross misconduct in office. The ICC prosecutor's defense team disagreed with the charges and announced their intention to appeal the verdict.
The special panel appointed to conduct a legal review of the investigation by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services also found the evidence insufficient to draw definitive conclusions. A final decision will be made by the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute at a special session. The date for this session has not yet been set, according to the article.
Khan was previously suspended from his post. Disciplinary proceedings against him were referred to the Assembly of States Parties of the ICC. The Court emphasized that this is an interim measure pending a final decision.
According to Reuters, Khan committed serious misconduct following a lengthy investigation into a prosecutor's harassment of a lawyer in his office. Following this, it was recommended that he be removed from office.
On December 12, 2025, the Moscow City Court sentenced Khan and eight ICC judges in absentia. The prosecutor was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with the first nine years to be served in a maximum-security penal colony and the remainder to be served in a maximum-security penal colony. The International Criminal Court staff members were sentenced to terms ranging from 3.5 to 15 years in prison.
In March 2023, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia's Children's Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova.
Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov noted that Russia does not recognize the ICC or its jurisdiction : the body is not part of the official UN structures and has no connection to the International Court of Justice, which also sits in The Hague.
Peskov emphasized that for many years, neither international judicial bodies, even those recognized by Moscow, nor other members of the international community have paid attention to the destruction of civilian infrastructure and the killings of civilians that Ukraine has committed in Donbas.
