Adams (NC-12) today released the following statement on the decision to not retry Randall Kerrick in the shooting death of Jonathan Ferrell: I am disappointed by the North Carolina Attorney General's decision to not retry the Randall Kerrick case and hope this decision will not lead to greater mistrust within our community. While many of us arefrustrated by today's decision, we must funnel that frustration into positive and productive action that includes serious dialogues about criminaljustice reform, greater diversity in jury selection and the underlying prejudices that have an undue influence on our criminaljustice system. I urge people to come together peacefully to unite and heal our city. I remain committed to working with the community, law enforcement and local leaders toensure tragedies such as this never occur again. My heart breaks for the Ferrell family; they will remain in my thoughts and prayers. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
