Local officials are demanding answers about the circumstances surrounding the death of slain UNC-CH Student Body President Eve Carson and that of Duke University graduate student Abhijit Mahato. The two men arrested in those cases were both on probation when the crimes they are charged with were committed. Host Frank Stasio examines the particulars of the state’s courts and probation system with North Carolina Central University Law Professor Irving Joyner. Plus, Lewis Pitts, an attorney with Legal Aid of North Carolina, and Tamar Birckhead, assistant professor of law at UNC-CH, discuss chronic problems in the state’s juvenile justice program. Finally, Keith Woods, Dean of Faculty at the Poynter Institute, discusses media coverage of the case.
