I’m just now catching up with Demario Atwater’s request request to have his trial for the murder of UNC student Eve Carson moved out of state.
In the motion, Atwater’s attorneys argue that reader comments in Winston-Salem Journal coverage “continue to reveal a deep seated sentiment of hatred and bigotry in Winston-Salem, the seat of the upcoming trial in the Middle District of North Carolina.”
Bonus observation: I think they should hold the trial right there in Chapel Hill where — as everyone knows —- there is absolutely no trace of hatred and bigotry.
