Tune in here to this ​Tuesday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

 

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the newly filed federal charges in the murder of Iryna Zarutska and the emotional press conference held by U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson and the FBI

. Ferguson announced that the case would be supplemented with federal charges under a statute covering acts of violence on public transit—an unusual but serious move intended to send a clear message. He spoke about the impact of the crime on Charlotte’s public safety and the emotional conversation he had with Zarutska’s family, who had fled Ukraine for a better life. Ferguson made it clear: this case isn’t about politics—it’s about justice and restoring safety to a shaken community. The maximum penalty could be life without parole or the death penalty

 

Later, Jensen is joined by Congressman Tim Moore to discuss the shocking murder of Iryna Zarutska and the legislative action he's taking in response. Representing parts of Mecklenburg County — including the area Zarutska called home — Moore expresses outrage over the magistrate judge’s decision to grant the suspect an unsecured bond, allowing him back on the streets. Moore outlines a newly introduced bill, co-sponsored with Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, that would allow federal funds to be withheld from cities or states with dangerous bail reform policies
