Easley Offers $10K Reward for Info on Carson Murder
Under the belief that there may be more people than the two already arrested involved in the murder of UNC Student Body President Eve Carson, Governor Easley has issued a $10,000 reward to anyone that can provide information to any further alleged connections. What happened to Eve Carson is tragic, but I have to ask why Mike Easley is offering a reward in this particular case and not in any of the other murders or disappearances that have gone in North Carolina? I have a theory on that. It’s all politics.
This case has received national attention because of who Eve Carson was, how young she was, and she was also a pretty face. The coverage of this has spread all over the country and as a result there is a nationwide focus on North Carolina. Obviously, this is negative attention just on the surface, but it’s even more uninviting when you dig deeper and reveal the nasty little facts about her killers.
Whenever there’s been a crack to fall through in North Carolina’s legal system, Laurence Lovette and Demario Atwater have found it.
The high school dropouts were convicted of crimes but put back on the street by a system that failed to notice when they were arrested again.
Both are now behind bars, held without bail and charged with murdering two college students.
This reveals the failure of the liberal mindset of the state’s government and judiciary that does not go far enough in punishing criminals in North Carolina. These two guys have a list of crimes going back quite a while and yet time and time again they have been back out on the streets, but it’s not just Lovette and Atware. This is endemic in North Carolina, especially in Mecklenburg County where I live very close to.
Easley’s issuance of this reward is political cover. He has to give a false impression to all of America that he is a tough on crime governor and that North Carolina is a tough on crime state.
