Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Police Have Possible Break in Slaying of UNC Student


CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WGHP) - Police investigating the slaying of the University of North Carolina's student body president may have a new break in the case.

Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall told WRAL-TV on Wednesday that police are talking to a person of interest in the death of Eve Carson. He declined to comment further.

WTVD-TV broadcast a video Wednesday of a man arrested during a raid in Durham who the station said was later turned over to Chapel Hill police.

According to abc11.com, officials have not confirmed a connection between the man taken into custody and the Carson murder investigation, but the Chapel Hill Police department is leading the Carson murder investigation.

A press conference has been scheduled for this morning, although the exact time is unknown at this moment.

The 22-year-old Carson was found last week lying on a street about a mile from campus. The Georgia native had been shot several times, including once in the right temple.

It appears that a confession wal already beaten out of this guy or he was tortured. So, I guess the police will say they've got their man.

Have you entertained the possibility that he actually did it and that the police have physical evidence and not just a confession. Just because the police have him doesn't mean he is innocent.

You're rediculous, anonymous. They have probable cause...and there was no confession. They arrested him because he has a probable connection to the case.
