Carson case details from NC

The tragedy's of Eve Carson's murder at NC is documented in this story. From the piece:


But as the prosecutor has laid out the alleged events and many documents have become public, it is increasingly apparent that anyone could have been in Carson's shoes.

Although most violent crime is down in Chapel Hill, a shooting that hit so close to home sparked fear in students. Police have not increased patrols, but are attempting to educate sororities and others of off-campus dangers.

"It's obvious we've tried to increase awareness in town with this particular case," Chapel Hill Police Spokesman Lt. Kevin Gunter said.

The prosecution says that someone opened an e-mail from Carson's computer at 3:35 a.m. District Attorney Jim Woodall said the state would prove that Lawrence Lovette and Demario Atwater were walking downtown looking for someone to rob at about that time.

The defendants allegedly abducted Carson from just outside her house and drove her to the Bank of America in Chapel Hill. Her bank card was also used in several locations in Durham. They allegedly took $1,400 in all from her bank account.

The prosecutor says that Lovette shot Carson four times with a handgun and that Atwater shot her once with a sawed-off shotgun.
