Governor Josh Stein announced the signing of a crime bill the week after a mass shooting claimed three lives in Southport.Stein signed House Bill 307 into law on Oct. 3, the governor announced in a video statement. Stein said the need for the legislation, known as Iryna's Law, is exemplified by the stabbing of Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte and a mass shooting in Southport.The law contains a number of provisions around criminal justice, including changes to death penalty proceedings and procedures for defendants with previous criminal histories. It includes stricter guidelines for defendants with previous violent offenses, new procedures for defendants with suspected mental health issues and the elimination of cashless bail.
Because Democrats are horrible when it comes to handling crime, Stein waited till the last minute (two weeks) to sign the damn bill. An bvious measure that also closes loopholes that allowed violent criminals back on the streets.
