Shocking video footage showed Brown stabbing Zarutska three times in the neck before witnesses tried desperately to save her. She was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"1114\">In response to this tragic crime, North Carolina\u2019s Legislature swiftly passed <strong data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"918\">House Bill 307<\/strong>, known as <strong data-start=\"929\" data-end=\"947\">\u201cIryna\u2019s Law.\u201d<\/strong> Signed into law by Governor Josh Stein on October 3, the bill mandates closer judicial scrutiny of individuals posing significant violence risks during bail hearings.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1396\">A notable amendment in the law could allow North Carolina to <strong data-start=\"1177\" data-end=\"1253\">resume capital punishment using rare methods, including the firing squad<\/strong>. However, Governor Stein publicly opposed firing squads, affirming lethal injection as the only authorized execution method during his tenure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1398\" data-end=\"1541\">If convicted, Brown faces the <strong data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1445\">death penalty<\/strong>, though the specific method of execution remains a subject of ongoing legal and ethical debate.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1543\" data-end=\"1668\">The case has sparked nationwide conversations about justice, capital punishment, and how best to honor victims like Zarutska.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1670\" data-end=\"1764\"><strong data-start=\"1670\" data-end=\"1764\">What do you think should happen to Zarutska\u2019s killer?
