As OldRebel (and others?) said, there is inconsistency in releasing these reports. There is a link to the actual Curtis report--but none for Abhijit Mahato.

As to autopsy "photos"--not really. Just diagrams. Are there ever actual photos? Don't know. Do I want to see any? Not so sure I do. But I do want to know more in some places. I'm interested in the Carson report, not because of any morbid curiosity (I don't believe it'll be any worse than I've already imagined), but because I'm still trying to figure out what happened on 3/5 (so close to me I could've almost heard it myself). My opinion has in fact changed a lot in the last week. It may change still more as we find out more.

right on "old school tarheel". you know what this is about.

I am still confused about what happened. All these details and still no clarity of what lead to this tragedy.

I didn't need to know that. I doubt the family appreciated it either.

There was a direct link to the Michelle Young AR. I just finished reading it from that link. As for the Carson AR, I am sure it will be published, but only when the publishing does not pose a threat to the successful prosecution of that case. Every case is different. Be patient.

One was murdered in Jan, the other Mar. It was stated that Eve Carson's would be released as well.

As far a public knowledge...yes, I can see the need for a free press/freedom of speach, but I also have enough human compassion to realize that such graphic, personal and tragic descriptions of how a loved one suffered-could be very hard on the victim's family. I just try to look at it as if, it were one of my own family-and how I would feel about it, being broadcast to the world. These same details and facts however, should surely be shown to a juror during a trial.

Packy: It is sad honestly, it is by the ones calling other racist for not agreeing with them…

It's so sad that a beautiful young lady's death has been overshadowed by racism. Does anyone really think Latrese Curtis cares at this point if her murderer is white, black, or pink with purple polka dots? She was a wonderful young lady that was murdered for no other reason than someone decided they could take her life. Eve Carson was a wonderful young lady that was murdered for the same reason. And hey, they were both murdered by black men. Yes, racism exists, on both sides. Discrimination exists, on both sides. Life isn't fair. Get over it and move on. Don't overshadow 2 tragic deaths by yelling "not fair" or "racism" when neither of these 2 ladies care at this point. All they would want is justice and healing, on all fronts. Racism will never go away until people stop looking for imagined slights around every corner.

Anyone who uses this much force to murder another human being needs to be destroyed.

I can not imagine someone in my family dying this way. My heart goes out to her family.

Just one little point of fact: The Eve Carson murder was much more recent than Latrese Curtis. It looks as though they will be releasing that too, probably in siz weeks or so--*as was the original intention*. So until that time passes, why do we need to make these comparisons of one victim's family's privacy rights vs another?
