Mecklenburg D.A. wins 75 murder convictions in six months
The Mecklenburg County District Attorney's Office secured 75 murder convictions in the first six months of 2026, with 69 guilty pleas and six trials. The office credited a 2025 restructuring and hiring under North Carolina House Bill 307 (Iryna's Law) for the success, which honors a 2025 murder victim. Five trial convictions included life sentences, and two officer-involved shootings were investigated.
