Sweeping criminal justice reform named in honor of Iryna Zarutska, the Ukrainian refugee killed on a light rail in Charlotte, has been signed into law by North Carolina’s governor — raising the chances that her alleged murderer could face the death penalty by firing squad. House Bill 307 — dubbed “Iryna’s Law” — was overwhelmingly approved by both chambers in the Tar Heel State’s Legislature, where Republicans hold a majority. It was then rubber-stamped by the Democratic Governor Josh Stein on Friday.
