Mayor Clodfelter’s Statement:
The North Carolina Attorney General’s Office has now announced its decision not to re-try
Randall Kerrick. Some in our community believe that decision is entirely correct. Others
believe, with equal feeling, that it is entirely wrong. What we now ask of each citizen is that
you reach out to someone whose views on this decision may differ from yours and engage
them in a discussion, not about the rightness or wrongness of the decision, but instead about
how we can work together to create a better, more unified and understanding community. We
cannot change what is past; we can only resolve to change the future. That is the City’s
commitment and I believe it is also the commitment of all who live in Charlotte.
