The search warrants in relation to Eve Carson case, who was the former president of the student body at UNC Chapel Hill, are unsealed and show the saddest picture of what happened.
According to reports, Eve Carson was studying at home. Then she was kidnapped from her home, was taken on an own vehicle to be robbed at the ATM and was shot several times.
"Despite strong objections by defense attorneys, Superior Court Judge R. Allen Baddour released six warrants that helped police arrest Laurence Lovette, 17, and Demario Atwater, 22. Both are charged with first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Eve Carson, the former student body president at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill," reports FOX News.
Defense lawyers say that the allegations are based on hearsay, which can potentially taint the potential jurors.
One confidential source told the court that the robbers came through an open door and at the ATM took $1,400 dollars from Eve Carson's bank account using her pin number.

UNC's Chancellor James Moeser spoke to the student body on Polk Place at 3 p.m., and at 7 p.m. students organized a candlelit vigil in the Pit. The service included singing by three student a cappella groups and a slideshow of photos of Carson. Hundreds of people attended Carson's funeral in Athens, including Moeser, who said that Carson was "truly a gift to Chapel Hill." In honor of Carson, the North Carolina men's and women's basketball teams wore a black badge on their jersey that read "EVE" for the remainder of their seasons.
Unusually for North Carolina, records such as the autopsy report of Eve Carson and search warrants were sealed from public view in the months after the murder. On June 27, 2008, some information was finally released. Details in six warrants confirm that $1,400 was withdrawn from ATMs using Carson's card over a two-day period after the shooting. They also reveal that Atwater admitted to being the suspect attempting use the ATM card in a security video taken in a local convenience store and that Lovette was indeed the person pictured in original ATM surveillance photograph. The autopsy report will be released on June 30, 2008.
