ATWATER
FROM PAGE 1
Klauer, spokeswoman for the U.S.
Attorney’s office in Greensboro.
Atwater now faces federal charg
es of carjacking resulting in death,
using firearms during a carjacking,
being a felon in possession of fire
arms and possessing an improperly
registered shotgun.
The first two counts are pun
ishable by life imprisonment or
the death penalty. The second two
carry 10-year prison sentences.
Lovette is not facing federal
charges, though he could techni
cally be charged with the carjack
ing as well, Klauer said.
“If it’s a federal crime for
Atwater, it’s a federal crime for
Lovette,” Rosen said. “It doesn’t
make sense why they would indict
one and not the other.”
Klauer could not comment on
why the prosecution chose to pur
sue indictments for Atwater and
not Lovette.

Because he was a minor at the
time of the shooting, Lovette cannot
be charged with the death penalty.
If Atwater is convicted, the deci
sion whether to pursue the death
penalty is in the hands of the U.S.
Attorney General.
If he does decide to seek the
death penalty in the case, it will be
the first capital case in the Middle
District in more than 10 years.
“Nobody here remembers the
last time we prosecuted a case for
the death penalty,” Klauer said.
Woodall said public defenders
have been working on Atwater’s
case for the past several months.
“None of this is a surprise to him
or his lawyers,” he said.
Jonathan Broun, one of Atwater’s
public defenders, said he was not
available to make comment on
pending litigation.

said they did not know anything
else about the extent of the vic
tim’s injuries. But police said they
would release further information
on the incident early today.
By about 5 p.m., the bus had
driven away and police were
cleaning up a pool of blood at the
point of impact.
Chapel Hill has a history of
serious injuries involving colli
sions between vehicles and pedes
trians. v
In January 2006, three people
were killed while biking or walk
ing.
And in May, a transit bus hit
Scottish exchange student Lisa
Moran as she jogged at the intersec
tion of Manning Drive and South
Columbia Street, just a few hundred
yards north of the collision Monday.

she was at first very nervous about
presenting in public.
“I didn’t want people to compare
us to the Pit preachers,” she said.
An onlooker said they were
successful. Sophomore Carmen
Castanet was walking by the Pit
during the presentation and said
she wasn’t initially sure what was
happening, but soon realized that
one of the women was preaching.
“I felt like it was an attempt to be
the other extreme —as opposed to
what the Pit preachers do, they were
talking about Jesus’ love instead of
condemnation,” she said.

CARMEN CASTANET, SOPHOMORE

the presentation was a success.
“Seeing everyone looped around
the big trees in prayer l’ve never
seen that before at Carolina,” he
said. “It was amazing.”

limited participation, any drastic
action by them wouldn’t be taken
seriously.”
Additionally, ASG is trying to
reform itself, Doucette said. It hired
a consultant this summer to analyze
its weaknesses.
UNC-CH student Jonathan
Tugman, a former Daily Tar Heel
associate opinion editor, also
offered consulting services to
Doucette as part of a business class
project.
Higman, one of Raynor’s executive
assistants, decided Monday to scrap
the project, which was unrelated to
his student government duties.
Appalachian State University
Student Body President David
Moffbrd said Raynor’s fixes might
not go over well in the association.
“I don’t see them approving
someone that just swoops in who we
haven’t seen since July,” he said. “For
her to send (Liles) and say this is
what I want to d0... it would mean
a lot more if she came herself”
And a UNC-CH withdrawal
won’t have much of an impact,
Mofford said.
“In all honesty, it’s like they’ve
already withdrawn.... We’re going
to be OK if they pull out.”

COOL KIDS
FROM PAGE 1
As basic as that description is, it
seems pretty apt.
“The Cool Kids don’t rap about
how hard they are, and they
don’t rap about how they don’t
rap about how hard they are.
Instead, they mostly rap about
how fly they are, which is fertile
territory,” wrote Tom Breihan in
a review of the groups debut, The
Bake Sale EP.
All of that praise has put the
group on a fast track to promi
nence.
Carolina Union President Tom
Allin said securing the group
while it is still on the rise pro
vides students with a unique
opportunity the chance to see
a potential hit group in an inti
mate setting.
“If we didn’t catch them now,
there’s really no telling where
they will be in three months, six
months or a year from now,” he
said. “If we didn’t catch them now
we knew it might be a long shot.”
The group, Hill said, has made
a point to play at college campus
es, pointing out that both mem
bers of the group are in their early
20s.
“I think they just feel more com
fortable in those venues,” she said.
Hill said the show fits perfectly
into CUAB’S mission of exposing
students to new talent, as hip-hop
acts are rarely represented in its
shows.
“You just hear it and you like it,”
she said. “There is nothing about it
that alienates people.
CUAB kept ticket prices
affordable to attract students to
a concert they wouldn’t normally
attend.
“We wanted to keep student
ticket prices low so that maybe
people would be willing to take a
chance on something they might
not have heard.”
After seeing the group this
summer, Hill said she expects the
group’s “infectious beats” to make
fans of the students who attend the
show.
Allin put it in simpler terms.
“We just want people to have a
good time,” he said.
It’s going to be a huge party on
a Tuesday night.”
