Brutal murder in N.C. ignites crime, mental health debate

Season 2025 Episode 252 | 6m 38s

A brutal murder in Charlotte, North Carolina, claimed the life of a young Ukrainian refugee and has become a rallying cry for Republicans who want to paint Democrats as soft on crime. William Brangham discussed the case and reaction with Alisa Roth, author of "Insane: America's Criminal Treatment of Mental Illness."
