BASKETBALL
FROM RAGE 1
Mountaineers, UNC clamped
down in the second half and
carried that trend into Sunday,
holding the Razorbacks to 35.7
percent shooting during the first
20 minutes.
“One thing we tried to do today
was double-down in the low post
on Darian Townes and Charles
Thomas,’ Williams said Sunday.
“We did a nice job getting turn
overs early in the low post, and we
have not done that very often this
year."
Of course, he was still harping
with his players on that end of the
floor despite the win.
“He just emphasized that we
could've taken more charges defen
sively,’ Ellington said.
“Guys didn't step in and get in
there. But that's how it has to be—
he wants perfection, and that’s
how you've got to be in order to win
this tournament."
UNC now will prepare to play
Thursday in Charlotte at 7:27
p.m. against the No. 4-seeded
Washington State Cougars. And
despite the dominating nature of
these early successes, UNC doesn’t
seem to be overly excited.
“We’ve all been here before,"
Ellington said. “We've been here
last year. It feels good to win these
games, but we re not satisfied
we re still very hungry."

DEATH PENALTY

sentiment, both for and against,
there are also legal and procedural
ramifications for each case, such as
whether the defendant received a
fair trial.
Rosen said that although many
people admit there is a problem
with the death penalty, there is also
a strong feeling that it is necessary.
“The reaction and the feeling in
this community explains why there is
still such a strong connection to the
death penalty,” he said. “The horror
of what happened, the anger, gives us
the side of why we must have it"
It’s not likely that UNC students
will appear on the jury, but they can
write letters to the case lawyers or
legislators to express their opinioas
on the issue. The attorneys then can
use these letters as a way of showing
public opinion.
And these opinions have been
influenced by a yearlong effort at
UNC to educate about death pen
alty issues.
Doug Kelly, chairman of the
2007-08 summer reading selection
committee, said the book was chosen
becaase it was an “eye-opening story,"
not because of its topic or stance.
“The book sheds a lot of light on
all sides of the issue even though
the author takes a particular side."
Rosen said the Carson case also
is indicative of the difficulty of
death penalty issues.
“This is a difficult time for the
community. University and town."
he said. “It is a painful reminder
of the difficulty of the issues that
we’ve been talking about all year."

Wake County and was sentenced to
three years probation. In June 2007,
he was convicted of a firearm posses
sion in Granville County but was not
arrested for this probation violation
until Feb. 20.
Lovette, also charged in the
January shooting and death of Duke
University graduate student Abhijit
Mahato, was on probation for mis
demeanor breaking and entering.
Paparazzi added that cases like
Carson’s don’t necessarily result in
policy changes and that he supports
probation reform based on research
rather than political knee-jerk
responses.
Willoughby said that he expects
the Carson murder to bring attention
to an exhausted system but that the
decision to devote more resources to
probation is up to lawmakers.
“In order to deter nonviolent
offenders from becoming violent
offenders, we probably need a
more intense level of supervision
to a greater number of people
than our system is currently able
to deliver."

Death sentences rare in county
BY ARIEL ZIRULNICK
ASSISTANT STATE AND NATIONAL EDITOR
Orange County’s historical reluc
tance to issue capital sentences
could come into play down the
road for one of the men charged
with Eve Carson's murder.
Demario James Atwater, 21, will
appear in court today for a prob
able cause hearing for first-degree
murder. At that hearing, prosecu
tors will present evidence to the
public to back up that charge for
the first time.
If he is charged with first
degree murder, the jury could
sentence him to capital punish
ment or a life sentence in prison
without parole.
Orange County jurors have
consistently shown a disinclina
tion to issue capital sentences. The
last time was in 1970 and it was
overturned on appeal, said Senior
Resident Superior Court Judge
Carl Fox, a former Orange County
district attorney.
An Orange County jury last
issued a death sentence that was
carried out in 1948.
“There’s little question in mv
mind that Orange County, as well
as Chatham, probably would be

Kisiah said that the department
is finishing a report in the next
week outlining options for the
area’s fields but that any changes
might not come soon enough.
“If things continue the way they
are now. I’m not at all sure if we wiil
have a fall soccer season," Kisiah
said, adding that the spring season
should remain unaffected.
Mike Strand, executive director of
Triangle United Soccer, which uses
many Chapel Hill facilities, said that
last summer and fall the fields were
at their worst condition in 10 years.
Fields like Smith Municipal Park
behind Chapel Hill High School
have become "borderline danger
ous to play on,” Strand said.
The fields have thinner grass and
can't recover from wear and tear.
“(The Department of Parks and
Recreation) have obviously made it
clear that if the drought continues
and the field conditions deterio-
News
one of the most challenging dis
tricts in North Carolina to have
a death sentence returned by the
jury,’ said District Attorney Jim
Woodall in reference to local legal
tradition.
“It tends to be a fairly liberal
area, so our jury pool tends to be
very liberal. Generally speaking,
that makes it a bit more difficult to
get the death penalty," he said.
Death penalty verdicts have
decreased since 2001. when state
legislation began allowing prosecu
tors in first-degree murder cases to
seek life sentences without parole
as an alternative to a capital sen
tence, Fox said.
Before that legislation, prosecu
tors had to seek the death penalty if
they w anted to try the case as first
degree murder. To seek an alterna
tive sentence, the case had to be
reduced to second-degree murder,
he said.
“You just don't see jurors giving
the death penalty as much as they
used to since the advent of legisla
tion allowing life without parole."
Fox said.
Carson's murder bears some
similarities to the 1993 murder of
Kristin Lodge-Miller, a 26-vear
former has had multiple hit singles
since his debut in 2000.
“We feel like Musiq Soulchild is
a great artist who appeals to a lot
of people." Wilson said. “He’s been
around for a while. Once we found
out his (performance) date worked
with us, we were really excited
because we know he'll draw a big
crowd and sell out Memorial."
In an effort to show off the artis
tic talent of UNC studenLs, Monroe
said CUAB will hold auditions for
those interested in being the opening
rate, they will close and limit the
field use," Strand said.
Off the field, the drought is
impacting indoor facilities.
Area community pools are truck
ing in water from a well at the town
operation center. Kisiah said they
will have to decide whether to fill the
under-coast ruction Homestead Park
Aquatic Center pool with the initial
400,000 gallons required.
The current Stage 3 water use
restrictions prohibit pools from
being filled or topped off.
“We are weighing either stop
ping construction or purchasing
the water from a different source,"
Kisiah said.
Bench said the pool surface can
go bad if not filled.
“Everyone sees the rain and
thinks everything is great," Kisiah
said. “What they don’t understand
is that the drought is not over."

old Chapel Hill speech therapist,
who was shot on Estes Drive after
being attacked during her early
morning jog.
Prosecutors chose to pursue
a second-degree murder charge
against 18-year-old Anthony Georg
Simpson, accused in that case,
rather than pushing first-degree
murder charges. That case was
brought to trial before legislation
permitting alternative sentences
to the death penalty in first-degree
murder cases.
Orange County’s liberal reputa
tion does not mean it is alone in
edging away from capital punish
ment, said Tom Maher, director
of the Center for Death Penalty
Litigation.
“We tend to think of Orange
County as this liberal oasis. It’s
not out of step with a lot of coun
ties," he said, explaining that
more than one-third of North
Carolina counties have no one on
death row.
Maher said that the strong emo
tional reaction to Carson's murder
means that the case needs to be
handled carefully and that time
needs to pass before punishment
for the suspects can be fairly dis-
