Charlotte rail murder suspect was previously released from prison as part of a mass inmate release approved under a former Democratic governor, Republicans say.

Prosecutors say Zarutska was stabbed to death aboard a Charlotte light-rail train by Brown, a repeat offender with an extensive criminal history who was under state supervision at the time of the attack.
The case has drawn heightened attention after records reviewed by Fox News Digital, provided by Republican officials, appear to link Brown to the 2021 settlement, which was negotiated between Cooper’s administration and civil-rights groups amid concerns over COVID-19 conditions in state prisons.
