Judges releasing violent criminals into your communities aren’t even lawyers. Judges in states like North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia, Texas, Arizona don’t even have to be lawyers. They don’t have to study law but they can be judges. Pure political job. Democrats have destroyed the judicial system. It’s irretrievably broken.
North Carolina Judge Teresa Stokes who released the career criminal, DeCarlos Brown Jr., who murdered the Ukrainian refugee on a promise he’d return to court for trial is NOT a lawyer. In states like North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Texas and Arizona the magistrate signing your arrest or search warrant, or deciding bail amounts might not be a lawyer. (Amuse)
Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes never passed the bar and has no formal legal training. Her background is in addiction recovery, not law—yet she’s entrusted with judicial power.
Records show that Brown has been arrested and released 14 times in over a decade.
The North Carolina judiciary under Democratic control is an imminent danger to it’s citizens.

Right now, millions of people are finding out you can become a magistrate judge in many states WITHOUT being a licensed lawyer — Teresa Stokes never passed the bar exam — fully empowered to let repeat criminal offenders roam the streets to murder innocents.

Post Millennial: Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes is not qualified to practice as a lawyer in the state of North Carolina, according to the state’s database of registered lawyers. The revelation comes after it was reported that Stokes released Decarlos Brown on cashless bail after his last brush with the law before he was charged with stabbing 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska to death in August.
When Stoke’s name is entered into the North Carolina State Bar lawyer look-up tool, an error is presented, indicating the judge, although overseeing a magistrate court, does not have the ability to practice law as a lawyer professionally in the state of North Carolina. Magistrate judges in the state do not have to be licensed lawyers, according to state law.
The findings were first reported by journalist Laura Loomer, who also uncovered other details surrounding the judge, who is appointed over the Charlotte District in Mecklenburg County Court in North Carolina.
