Sorry. It’s still Durham.

“I hope the arrest can ease the minds of some in the community,” District Attorney Jim Woodall said.

I truly hope they found her killers, and that they pay dearly for their crime. But I’d just as soon get this kid a decent attorney to keep the system down there honest. One thing I learned about Durham police and ATM evidence is to reserve judgment.

I’m reminded by one hilarious, braided commenter: “If this is how the DA treated three white Duke lacrosse players, I don’t even know what he woulda done to my black ass.”

Update: One of the suspects in Eve Carson’s murder has now also been charged with the January murder of Duke student Abhijit Mahato. He’s the second person who has been charged with that murder. Two people charged with the same murder, you say? Yea. That’s what I’m wondering.
