Open-borders claim about Charlotte stabbing debunked in Trump SOTU

A fact-checking explanation finds Trump’s assertion that the Ukrainian refugee murder in Charlotte happened because of open borders is false. The suspect, DeCarlos Brown, was a Charlotte native with prior arrests and a history of mental health issues; he had been released on non-cash-bail on other charges when the August stabbing occurred on a Lynx Blue Line train. Zarutska’s family and local reporting indicate these factors, not border policy, explain the tragedy, which has been used in political debates about crime and immigration.

Virginia au-pair murder trial: defendant testifies he confronted intruder amid fatal home shooting

In a Virginia courtroom, Brendan Banfield testified that when he burst into an upstairs bedroom and found his naked wife with a stranger, he yelled for police, ordered the intruder to drop his knife, and fired after a struggle. Prosecutors say Banfield and Brazilian au pair Juliana Peres Magalhaes conspired to kill his wife Christine Banfield and the intruder during a February 2023 double homicide; Banfield denies conspiring and has admitted an affair with Magalhaes. Magalhaes has pleaded guilty to a reduced manslaughter charge, and authorities say the plot involved luring the intruder with a FetLife-based scheme. Banfield is charged with four counts of aggravated murder and using a firearm in the killings, which could carry life in prison if convicted. The trial continues.
