A jury has found a man guilty in the 2008 murder of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student body president Eve Carson.
Laurence Alvin Lovette Jr. was found guilty of first-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping, first-degree armed robbery, felonious larceny, and felonious possession of stolen goods.
An autopsy report showed that Carson, an honors student, had multiple gunshot wounds when she was found lying on a Chapel Hill street. The autopsy report listed six gunshot wounds but said two of the wounds were probably from the same bullet.
Court documents released in the North Carolina case said Carson was taken from her apartment and forced to provide her abductors with ATM access to her bank account before she was shot to death in the early hours of March 5.
A grand jury indicted Demario James Atwater on October 27, 2009 on federal charges of carjacking resulting in death, carrying and using firearms in relation to carjacking, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and possessing a short-barreled shotgun not properly registered to him. He also faces state first-degree murder charges in Orange County, North Carolina, along with Lovette.
The informant said the two men drove Carson to an ATM, obtained her PIN from her and then shot her. The witness told police that Atwater said the two got about $1,400 from Carson's account. Bank records show that was approximately the amount taken from the account over a two-day period, the documents said.
Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall has said he also will seek the death penalty against Atwater. Authorities cannot seek the death penalty against Lovette because he was 17 at the time of the slaying.
The Athens, Georgia, native was a pre-medicine student double-majoring in political science and biology. She was a recipient of the university's prestigious Morehead Scholarship and a member of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society, according to UNC.
What's not to hate?
Where's Rev Al to defend this poor young man who was a victim of bad childhood and deserves to be rehabilitated?
I Dont get it, he says something you complain. He doesnt say something you still complain. I guess you are just a complainer....hmmmmmmm I'm sure Al appreciates the publicity though...
Fry his F***ing ass!
Frying is too quick and merciful.. Better let hm spend what's left of his miserable life in Prison with no hope of parole.
Nice suit. This is the first time he's dressed for success.
I noticed the same thing.
Sad story. My heart goes out to the Carson family. Great work by the police department and the DA's office.
And the African American society wonders why there is so much hatred against them.
It's him, not his race, bigot!
Dat right, SouthernCelt, jus like it aint da all-black flash mob! It be each individual IN da all-black flash mob. CNN beez racist n' shiit!
READ BEFORE YOU SPEAK.........................................
Most murder victims - 93 percent of blacks and 85 percent of whites - were killed by someone of their own race.
Gang violence was involved in around five percent of homicides with black victims against seven percent for white victimS
In percentage terms, whites were twice as likely to be killed by a current or former partner than blacks - 12 percent of whites were murdered by a life partner against six percent of blacks.
Meanwhile the great black crime wave continues
Take a look at the FBI crime statistics, you racist. The majority of violent crimes and all crimes are committed by white offenders.
Mike gots it right: Dey beez racist n' shiit!

Yu needs to check yo spellin', craka! White folks always beez lookin' fo a black escape goat! CNN beez racist n' shiit!
I am black and I think it is absolutely discusting whther the victim is white or black. Yes he should pay with his life. I would feel the same if the situation was turned around, black victim, white perp. The comments on here about race, and welfare, these are the things that keep this fired fueled. I work for a govt agency and sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there are far more white people on welfare than you think.
All you had to say was you worked for the govt. We couldve figured out the black part
Do you believe that Asians and Hispanics will artificially prop you up as whites have? Of course not. Only (some) whites are decadent enough to play that game. Enjoy your "govt agency" job. In fifty years, blacks will be back in the fields where they belong. Filthy beasts!
I should hope so, considering they're only %11-13 of the population... Since you work for the government please tell me what total percentage of the black population collects welfare versus the total percentage of the white population.
Here are the statistics on welfare recipients:
Traits of families on AFDC (1)
Race
----–
White 38.8%
Black 37.2
Hispanic 17.8
Asian 2.8
Other 3.
75% of da population accounts fo 38.8% of welare cipients, an 13% of da population accounts fo 37.2% NOW what yu gots ta say, craka! Mo whites beez on welfare!
do you have the per capita breakdown on that?
