Defendant Faces Court in Murder of Carson

Demario Atwater, one of two individuals accused in the death of Georgia native Eve Carson, was in U.S. District Court in Greensboro, N.C., today to face charges in her death.

Atwater, who could face the death penalty if convicted, faces charges that include carjacking resulting in death. Co-defendant Laurence Lovette cannot be executed if convicted because he was 17 at the time of Carson's death.

Carson, who was the student body president at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was gunned down back in March not far from her campus residence.

Carson was an Athens native and a graduate of Clarke Central High School.
